Meteors
Dawn Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At first I didn't notice but it's obvious there
Yeah, it's obvious there
It's been a long time hoping I never saw it coming
I see it on fire anticipations burning like damn
It's burning like damn
You're love it's coming down like meteors, meteors
It's go down to my left, turning on my right,
Never... Could light at the night like you do, do, do
Running but I like, scared but I never see another coming close to the sky like you do, do
You're love it's coming down like meteors, like meteors
It's coming down like meteors, like meteors,
You're love it's coming down like meteors, like meteors
It's coming down like meteors, like meteors,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo ooh
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
