No Chaser
Go Periscope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To everything, to everything
What's left then burning pages?
Another chapter here and gone
You turn me off, you turn me on
I should've known this all along
Not quite like yours
You're telling me that you're never coming back
I don't know what to do
Minus one kiss, minus one kiss, minus one kiss we could be together
I bit the bullet straight, no chaser
Might as well kiss, say good-bye forever
Watch your step and go, because I know
Shot after shot, it numbs the pain
Nothing more to lose, nothing left to gain, gain...
We're living in a world
Not quite like yours
You're telling me that you're never coming back
I don't know what to do
Minus one kiss we could be together
I bit the bullet straight, no chaser
Might as well kiss, say good-bye forever
Watch your step and go, because I know
Minus one kiss we could be together
I bit the bullet straight, no chaser
Might as well kiss, say good-bye forever
Watch your step and go, because I know
Take a hit for lips that had to touch
Never thought a kiss could hurt so much
Take a hit for lips that had to touch
Should've known your kiss would be the end of us
Take a hit for lips that had to touch
Never thought a kiss could hurt so much
Take a hit for lips that had to touch
Should've known your kiss would be the end of us
Might as well kiss
Might as well kiss
'Cause I know
Might as well kiss
'Cause I know
Might as well kiss
'Cause I know
