Wet
From Smart Shuffle • Dazey and the Scouts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walked behind you, so I could see you
Move the way you do, do
Move the way you do

Don't you know just to play with what you're given?
Don't you know just to play with what you're given?
Can't take her for the only one to believe in
Wet road, paradise, wet roads today
Wet roads on the way to your house again

Don't you know just to play with what you're given?
Don't you know just to play with what you're given?
Can't take her for the only one to believe in

You were already captured, you were already loved
I just wanted to stand with you in our space again

Don't you know just to play with what you're given?
Don't you know just to play with what you're given?
Can't take her for the only one to believe in

It's only for a little while
It's only for a little while
Fierce play gets you everywhere




Fierce play gets you everywhere
Fierce play gets you everywhere
