Glaive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And talking to my friends drains all my energy
And I know of this place that′s filled with memories
And I'm so toxic way too often, it′s my tendency
And I been
Fucking over all my friends in the process
And I'm not being rude, I'm exploring my options
Four-leaf clover, but I fucked up and lost it
And I been
Fucking over all my friends in the process
And I'm not being rude, I′m exploring my options
And I don't sleep right ′cause it fuck with my conscience
Four-leaf clover, but I fucked up and lost it
I been bored, I been chilling at the skate park
And I even if tried I'm pretty sure I couldn′t skate far
They say that life's a movie, I don't think that I′m the main part
One day I′ma skip town, get away inside a freight car
And I could sing one hundred songs
And I could think one hundred thoughts
And I could right one hundred wrongs
'Cause my life′s fucked, so it won't be long
And if I′m being honest, I just needed a friend
And I been trying so hard to get this weight off my chest
And I been tryna write songs, tryna catch my breath
I only like my hooks, so here we go again
And I been
Fucking over all my friends in the process
And I'm not being rude, I′m exploring my options
And I don't sleep right 'cause it fuck with my conscience
Four-leaf clover, but I fucked up and lost it
And I been
Fucking over all my friends in the process
And I′m not being rude, I′m exploring my options
And I don't sleep right ′cause it fuck with my conscience
Four-leaf clove,r but I fucked up and lost it
