Wrecking Ball
Creeper Lagoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna hold you, but you break
Please just let it out
If you think I'm a ghost
Well touch me sweet Sheila
Cause I can't take it no more
Every day I'm away
Stumbling for what to say
Breaking her heart
What are you supposed to be?
Won't you get close to me?
Tear that building down!
And you know it's tough to take
I got to hold you, but you break
Please just let it out
Every day I'm away
Stumbling for what to say
Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball
Breaking her heart
Like a plane that's coming down
Like a wrecking ball falling apart
Every day I always come to find
Everyone's dumb and blind
I say just fuck it all
I know it's fearless, heartless, careless
Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball
Breaking her heart
Like a plane that's coming down
Like a wrecking ball
Falling apart
