Drag
Earwig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was standing right there when she let go
I was begging you please but you still said no
I was washing my hair
You were washing your hands of the whole affair
What a drag you let me down
Took my back and you're not around
Once in a while
Once in a while
Bet I'd lose it's on my mind
Bet I'd lose it's on my mind
Here I go
Here I go again
Won't hold my breath while I wait you
I could hold my breath until I fucking puke
But here I go
Here I go again

you're not stupid now
You've got something to find a little
You've got soemthing to say, then say it
Kinda hard to say
Just what I mean
Once in a while
Once in a while
What a drag you let me down
You took my back and you're not around
Once in a while
Once in a while
You're not stupid now
You've got something to find a little
You've got soemthing to say, then say it
Not not not..
What a drag you let me down
You took my back and you're not around
Once in a while
Once in a while
Here I go about to let you down




Here I go about to let you down
Here I go again
