Femi Tahiru Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I get a lot from you
You know you love to read, it′s true
Girl you get me out for free
Always picking up the mood
When I'm chilling here with you

I know sometimes I can be hard
(So hard, so hard)
Just know I′m fighting off these scars
Girl you get me out for free
Always picking up my mood
Yeah, I think you're pretty cool

August has just arrived
I'm just sitting here waiting for mine
I hope you see the signs
Feels like I′m running out of time

You always make it right
You never want to fight
I′ll be your ride or die
Just promise you'll be by my side
Give cover when I try to dodge bullets as they come for
I know you′re something special
(Something special girl)
I didn't want to say
I′m writing any day
Fuck social distancing
Except for bitches in the way
Just know you keep me straight and
It's never been too late when you come on over here cause girl

August has just arrived
I′m just sitting here waiting for mine
I hope you see the signs
Feels like I'm running out of time

August has just arrived
(Just arrived)
I'm just sitting here waiting for mine
I hope you see the signs




(See the signs)
Feels like I′m running out of time
