EVAN GIIA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hair tight cuz you know i'm on tonight
Are you watching me?
Said I don't go off but fuck it I just might
Keep an eye on me
Cuz I pull my back up off the damn wall
Had to move along cuz
I want it all
I want it all
Voices in my head but i'm in control
Beating on my chest cuz I want it all
I want it all
And imma keep it runnin till the lights go

And imma keep it runnin till the lights go

Don't say it to my face
Running through my blood
Hear me now
Imma keep it running till the lights go

I feel the heat every time
Cold sweat creeping ohh ayyy
And we both know
Wide eyes waiting on me no white flag
You know I come alive
When the lights go
Cuz I pull my back up off the damn wall
Had to move along cuz I want it all, I want it all
Voices in my head but i'm in control
Beating on my chest cuz I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
And imma keep it runnin till the lights go

Don't say it to my face
Running through my blood
Hear me now
Imma keep it running till the lights go

Don't fuckin with my head
Runnin through my blood
Hear me now
Imma keep it running till the lights go





(Keep it running till the lights go)
Imma keep it running till the lights go
