Elan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me fighting for my life. I sleep with
One eye open, can't keep what I owe, man.
And all this time I've been out of my
Mind. Things got out of hand; you're not
Coming back.
And I want to know where you're gonna
And I want to go where you're gonna go.
Why you got to keep me so low? I'm only
Trying to make us glow. And it's not easy
When you spend all the dough. You know
We ought to make this two-person show.
And I want to know where you're gonna
Go
And I want to go where you're gonna go.
And I want to go where you're gonna go.
And I want to know if you're gonna glow.
