Theme For Our Getaway
Go Periscope Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Away, away, away, a-away
Away, away, away, a-away...

She's gone
And dragging me with her, yes I'll go
But I can't
Kiss kiss, when you talk, pretty talk
She knows

Oh, how the concept goes
She bites her lip as she slips off her clothes

You're gonna stay away
You're gonna stay away
You're gonna stay away
You're gonna stay away

She's gone
Her cherry flavored lips are in love
What's wrong?
I know the night is fading
I'm drawn, I can't seem to shake it all off
A little sweet talk you won't stop

What's wrong?
I know the morning will end this show
If we can't
Tsk tsk, can't you talk, dirty talk
I'll know, how the hell this goes
Her hands shake as she slips off her clothes

You're gonna stay away
You're gonna stay away
You're gonna stay away
You're gonna stay away

She's gone
Her cherry flavored lips are in love
What's wrong?
I know the night is fading
I'm drawn
I can't seem to shake it all off
A little sweet talk you won't stop

What's wrong?
I know the morning will end this show
If we can't
Tsk tsk, can't you talk, dirty talk
What's wrong?
I know the morning will end this show
If we can't
Tsk tsk, can't you talk, dirty talk
I'll know, how the hell this goes
Her hands shake as she slips off her clothes

She's gone
Her cherry flavored lips are in love
What's wrong?
I know the night is fading
I'm drawn
I can't seem to shake it all off

She's gone
Her cherry flavored lips are in love
What's wrong?
I know the night is fading

I'm drawn
I can't seem to shake it all off
