Echoes
Fossa Beats Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't want, I didn't want to connect
I didn't need, I didn't need your affection
I shut it down so there wasn't a chance
And then suddenly I had this perfection

But I've been hoping you'd be back
'Cause I've seen it all before
Don't wanna let myself go,

I can't continue anymore
I've been hoping I'll hear the echoes
Will make me to resist
I don't know what this is
I've been hoping I'll hear the echoes
'Cause have seen it all before
Don't wanna let myself go,
I can't continue anymore
I've been hoping I'll hear the echoes
Will make me to resist
Darling, tell me does this really exist?
Darling, tell me does this really exist?

I didn't want, I didn't want to connect
I didn't need, I didn't need your affection

But I've been hoping I'll hear the echoes
'Cause have seen it all before
Don't wanna let myself go,
I can't continue anymore
I've been hoping I'll hear the echoes
Will make me to resist
I don't know what this is
I've been hoping I'll hear the echoes
Will make me to resist
Darling, tell me does this really exist?
Darling, tell me does this really exist?

I didn't want, I didn't want to connect
I didn't need, I didn't need your affection

I shut it down so there wasn't a chance
And then suddenly I had this perfection
