Care For The Proof
Fragrance. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I care for the proof
Just prove you're wrong babe
Because we're stuck in a void
A void we're waiting for
And you, you've got in mind
A kind of half-light
I care for the proof
Improve your alibi

And I can flirt with the dark
With you and bring you back
And you, you've got in mind
A kind of half-light
I care for the proof
Just prove you're wrong babe
Because we're stuck in a void
A void we're waiting for
You've got in mind
A kind of half-light
I care for the proof
Improve your alibi
I care for the proof
Just prove you're wrong babe
Because we're stuck in a void
A void we're waiting for
You've got in mind
A kind of half-light
I care for the proof
Improve your alibi
Prove you're wrong babe
We're stuck in a void
If it's after midnight I'll wait
Oh wait
By my own
And take a deep breath
If it's after midnight I'll wait
Oh wait

By my own
And take a deep breath
