Flying Cars & New Fonts
Diet Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a little caught up in between
Firing the mind and feeling so atomic
A right darling of catastrophe
That's okay
Give it a day
Playing it straight
Playing the gameWell it's just Nunito
Montserrat, Pacifico,Times New Trebuchet baby
Why not run it on water?
Salesman on the corner hawking remnants of the dream
Said I'll get it right next time
Set back stuck in a rut on serifs
Ditch it quick and let gravity
Show you the ropes of the rider driver
Gotta get to it eventually
If I may
Crib the authority
Give me any grade
I'm not here to stay
Said I'll get it right next time
Said I'll get it right next time
