Fawnn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooooo
Oooooo

I guess
You saw me
Unlike the rest
I was your Dairy Queen
Mmm
Queen
Mmmm

You're sleeping in
And laying down
Nobody asks you
How You are

If only I met you in Saturday school





I could've done something to brighten your pool
