Silhouette
DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the only one I need now
Your silhouette, it follows me now
Leaving me with cold feet now
I can't even go to sleep now
Following your friends didn't think you'd believe them
Maybe I'm the fool cause I really believed her
You caught my eye
So what'd you wait for running away?
Put me in my own maze, stuck in my ways
Pull me away from her, and out of my head
Get her out of my head
Get her out of my head
Couldn't wait for you
You're the only one I need now
Your silhouette, it follows me now
Leaving me with cold feet now
I can't even go to sleep now
Following your friends didn't think you'd believe them
Maybe I'm the fool cause I really believed her
You caught my eye
