Slow
FANGCLUB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's take all night
Got nowhere to go but the back of my mind
Let′s take this slow
Let's fake this right
Got nowhere to run but the end of my life
The pressure's on
Fuck, it weighs a ton
God bless everyone
Higher than high
Lower than low
I′m going insane and nobody knows
How far I'll go
Straight jacket on
My favorite song
I swear it tastes just like a gun
Higher than high
Lower than low
I′m going insane and nobody knows
How far I'll go
Higher than high
Lower than low
I′m going insane and nobody knows
Let's take it slow
Higher than high
Lower than low
I′m going insane and nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
