Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make up for our lost
I've been thinking, thinking 'bout you,
'Bout us
And we're moving, slow
Our hearts beat, so fast
I've been dreaming, dreaming 'bout you
'Bout us
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head, and oh, oh
We're speaking
Soft
See the pain in your eyes
I've been feelin', feelin' for you, my love
And our bodies, are tied
Our shadows will dance
I've been achin', achin' for you, my love
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head
My love is wasted, sorry for this I never meant to be
Hurting ourselves, hurting ourselves and I'm
Complicated, you won't get me, I have trouble
Understanding myself, understanding myself and my
Love is wasted, sorry for this I never meant to be
Hurting ourselves, hurting ourselves and I'm
Complicated, you won't get me I have trouble
Understanding myself, understanding myself
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head, oh, oh, oh, oh

In a dark room we fight, make up for our love
I've been thinking, thinking about you, about us
And we're moving slow, our hearts beat so fast

Hey, hey, hey, hey
