YOUR NAME
Esther Vallee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like four am
and I guess I'm sorry cause I never meant to hurt you
It's easy sometimes
like when I'm wasted
But I hate myself when I wake up
don't know where we going
I screwed this up again, right
Standing in the corner with my broken heart
watching all that people doing stupid things
did you here me call your name
did you here me call your name
last night we had a fight but I thought we were alright
Can you here me x7 (then contiues in the background)
This is better than nothing at all (at all, at all)
This is the closet we can get
mmh
I'm fucking hate this but whose to blame
cause it's like that and I learn to like that
can I like that
Front seat of a car
don't know where we going
I screwed this up again, right
did you here me call your name
did you here me call your name
last night we had a fight but I thought we were alright
Can you here me x7 (then contiues in the background)
This is better than nothing at all
cause it's like that and I have learned to like that
Do you like that
cause I like that
do you like that
that I like that
do you like that
did you here me call your name
did you here me call your name
last night we had a fight but I thought we were alright
Can you here me x7 (then contiues in the background)
