Curious
Head Automatica Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speaking of heaven
She looked like a god on earth
It was something I could not understand or explain
And I mean you don't know
The things I do for you
While you are out cold
The things I do for you
Will lead for my breakdown

And I'm still curious
I'm curious
I'm still curious
Yeah

My baby kisses like a heart attack
Running like that
Squeezing till my face turned black
She pulled me under
She pulled me under
Girl, I mean you gotta know
The things I do for you
While you are out cold
The things I do for you
Will lead to my breakdown

And I'm still curious
I'm curious
I'm still curious
Yeah

Breakdown
Breakdown
My breakdown
Breakdown, yeah

Curious
I'm curious
I'm still curious

Yeah
'Cause I'm still curious
