What We Came Here For
Damone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything I thought I knew
changed the day that I met you
all my rides and fake tattoos
I thought we were so damn cool

I'd get right back on the aeroplane
the greyhound bus the subway train
if I thought it'd ease the pain

I'm not someone you ignore
give us what we came here for
pick my heart up off the floor
give us what we came here for
nothing less and nothing more
just give me what I came here for

Every time I look at you
I forget what I'm supposed to do

I can turn around and walk away
and break my heart but who's to say
you'll notice anyway

I'm not someone you ignore
give us what we came here for
pick my heart up off the floor
give us what we came here for
nothing less and nothing more
give me what I came here for
nothing less and nothing more
give me what I came here for

One step in and one step out
one thing's clear beyond a doubt
I had happiness and now I'm just about
to watch it burn

I'd get right back on the aeroplane
the greyhound bus the subway train
if I thought it'd ease the pain
if I thought it'd ease the pain

I'm not someone you ignore
give us what we came here for
pick my heart up off the floor
give us what we came here for

I'm not someone you ignore
give us what we came here for
pick my heart up off the floor
give us what we came here for
nothing less and nothing more
give me what I came here for
nothing less and nothing more
give me what I came here for




nothing less and nothing more
give me what I came here for
