My Chest Is Empty
Eric's Trip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I could be your man
You wanted me to understand
I do as just that I'm needing something to
You ever want me to tell you

I wish you'd stay
I'd like you to be here everyday
My chest is emptier than yours
It'll be worst for you soon or
Maybe you could be my girl
I wish you'd let me be yours in my world





I wish you'd stay
I'd like you to be here everyday
