Twentythousand
Exes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i'm fine
kinda feeling numb about it
he's fine
nothing like the war we started
it"s nice
but i'm always broken hearted
inside
i don't know what else to do
but when he kisses me i'm missing you
every place i go reminds me of you
i don' want to remind me of you

you told me love was blind
for you, i closed my eyes
yeah you're my first fall
hardest break of them all

and it don't sound the same
the way he says my name
yeah you're my first fall
twentythousand feet tall

red wine
and i'm drunk inside our late nights
your eyes
always kinda felt like goodbye and goodnight
maybe i should let your heart fly
tonight

i don't know what else to do
but when he kisses me I'm missing you
every place i go reminds me of you
i don't want to remind me of you

you told me love was blind
for you, i closed my eyes
yeah you're my first fall
hardest break of them all

and it don't sound the same
the way he says my name
yeah you're my first fall
twentythousand feet tall

And i know it's not healthy
but i don't wanna fall in love again
And i know it'll kill me
but you're the only way i wanna end
you're the only way I wanna end
for you, i'd fall all over again

you told me love was blind
for you, i closed my eyes
yeah you're my first fall
hardest break of them all

and it don't sound the same
the way he says my name
yeah you're my first fall
twentythousand feet tall

waiting yeah, i'll keep on waiting, yeah, i'll keep on waiting, yeah
for you, i'd wait a lifetime




waiting yeah, i'll keep on waiting, yeah, i'll keep on waiting, yeah
for you, i'd wait a lifetime

I just discovered EXES earlier this year and fell in love. This is a totally different sound, it's emotional and it has a way of getting right into your face. So talented.
