Fool
EOJ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a fool for the way you rip the hole in my chest,
Pull me up from the ground, and Push me back down again
(Back down again)
She's got a sixth sense and she's charming,
Grabs me by the arm and
Pulls me in her car; it
Wouldn't be the first time I felt like i'm flying,
I'll be the first one to tell you if i'm not into it,
I'm not sadistic but let's just be realistic,
She's so free and so careless so,
I leave her alone,
But something real and so colorful is gone like, (baby won't you)
Leave me to die or lay my soul to rest,
I'm a fool for the way you rip the hole in my chest,
Pull me up from the ground, and push me back down again
(back down again)
Nobody knew what we had till we told them our habits,
Patterns arose in the cold and it's tragic,
We'd both rather stay then be alone tonight
(I feel like a fool for you)
Leave me to die or lay my soul to rest,
I'm a fool for the way you rip the hole in my chest,
Pull me up from the ground, and push me back down again
(Baby won't ya)
Leave me to die or lay my soul to rest,
I'm a fool for the way you rip the hole in my chest,
Pull me up from the ground, and push me back down again
(Back down again)
