Primo
Colette Carr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meet me at the cross street corner by the grove
Cooking up ideas like my brain is on a stove
Tryna keep it hush can you keep it on the low
I'm talking about the place only only we know
Thunderbird speed in my rear view mirror
Leave it all behind take the wheel disappear
Called to say your Far*East better move it rocketeer
We do it primo, we do it primo
We do it primo, just meet me at the top
Somewhere only we know
We do it primo, we do it primo
We do it primo, see the secrets that I got
Somewhere only we know
You can call me NASA cause we about to blow
I'm talking about the place only only we know
Swiver our own way just ignore the dotted line
My face is like a page so you can read my mind
We don't need to talk when our bodies wanna mime
My heart's a 10k racing beats double-time
Forget about the map now I'm lost within your eyes
Tripped up feeling frank spilling out the fear inside
We do it primo, we do it primo
We do it primo, just meet me at the top
Somewhere only we know
We do it primo, we do it primo
We do it primo, see the secrets that I got
Somewhere only we know
I'm a gonna need another minute
You're about to be up in my business
Sweeter than vanilla you're delicious
Slayin' all of this like it was Christmas
Wishin' that forever was existent
At least we got to see and got to witness
Hanging by a thread I need a hero
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know, somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know, somewhere only we know
We do it primo, we do it primo
We do it primo, just meet me at the top
Somewhere only we know
We do it primo, we do it primo
We do it primo, see the secrets that I got
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

Meet me at the cross street corner by the grove
Let's rendezvous at the intersection near the trees
Cooking up ideas like my brain is on a stove
My mind is creating plans feverishly
Tryna keep it hush can you keep it on the low
Can you be discreet and not share our secret?
I'm talking about the place only only we know
I'm referring to the location that only we know about
Thunderbird speed in my rear view mirror
I'm driving extremely fast like the famous sports car
Leave it all behind take the wheel disappear
Let's escape and leave everything behind by driving away
Rucksack packed how much longer till you're here
I'm ready to go, how much longer until you arrive?
Called to say your Far*East better move it rocketeer
I called to let you know you need to hurry up and move quickly, like a rocket ship
We do it primo, we do it primo
We do it first-rate, we do it exceptionally well
We do it primo, just meet me at the top
We do it the best way possible, let's meet at the highest point
Somewhere only we know
We have a special location that only we are aware of
We do it primo, see the secrets that I got
We do it exceptionally well, and you'll see my hidden secrets
You can call me NASA cause we about to blow
You can refer to me as NASA because we are about to rise up quickly
Swiver our own way just ignore the dotted line
Let's go our own way and disregard the rules and boundaries set for us
My face is like a page so you can read my mind
My emotions are evident on my face, so you can interpret how I'm feeling
We don't need to talk when our bodies wanna mime
We don't need to communicate with words because our movements and gestures are enough
My heart's a 10k racing beats double-time
My heart is beating very fast, like it's in a 10k race
Forget about the map now I'm lost within your eyes
I'm not concerned about the map anymore because I'm enchanted by your eyes
Tripped up feeling frank spilling out the fear inside
I stumbled and I'm now being honest, revealing my innermost fears
I'm a gonna need another minute
I need more time to prepare myself
You're about to be up in my business
You're about to get involved in my personal affairs
Sweeter than vanilla you're delicious
You're extremely delightful and enjoyable
Slayin' all of this like it was Christmas
I'm successfully accomplishing everything like it's a breeze
Wishin' that forever was existent
I desire that time could freeze, and we could live in the moment forever
At least we got to see and got to witness
At least we were able to experience and observe something amazing
Hanging by a thread I need a hero
I'm in a desperate situation and require assistance
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know
Therefore, let's leave and head to the location that only we know about
Somewhere only we know
The place that only we know about

HOW IS IT that I listened to this song literally only a couple times (when I saw it on TeenNick in 2011), I haven't listened to it even once in the past 4 1/2 years (except just now obviously) and it somehow manages to get stuck in my head EVERY SINGLE DAY since that day in 2011
