Drowning In Jealousy
Floppy Dee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drowning in jealousy
when she is not around (is not around, is not around ...)
am I supposed to freak out, freak out?! (let's go!)
please save me out of this case
and cauterize my fears away
I found pictures of you
closing my eyes and realize
that I couldn't hold you forever
and could we both be alone in a different world?
where this wouldn't break my neck
when I'm sick of heart attacks
please save me out of this case
and cauterize my fears away
(bridge)
please save me out of this case
and cauterize my fears away
all I want (all I want)
is to get (is to get)
more confidence
all I want (all I want)
is to get (is to get)
more confidence
(bridge)
please save me out of this case
and cauterize my fears away
please save me out of this case
and cauterize my fears away
