It's On
Hi-Town DJs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You waited weeks without a face or a single truth
You try to sink it all away
Try to hide from you
And then you say to me
You think you feel nothing is real
Break - you're on the run
Shake another one away
Maybe this town is getting lame
Or is it us
I see the voice behind your eyes
They sigh and say I'm tired
If It's the final time
If It's the last one tonight
Breathe it off to the side
Your steady breathing's been keeping my time
I will be where you need me to be
At least I've been trying lately
You're so tired of this back and forth
Won't you please just save me
I will be what you want me to be
At least that's what I've been trying lately
I'll give you four if you ask me for three
Oh won't you be my safety
Today I'm running free and never looking back
And when you told me that
I took a look into your eyes
I remember that
I felt the weight of every word
We both knew that it hurt
Break - you're on the run
Shake another away
And you won't budge
Maybe this town is getting lame
Or is it us
I see the voice behind your eyes
They sigh and say I'm tired
If It's the final time
If It's the last one tonight
We'll breathe it off to the side
Your steady breathing's been keeping my time
I will be where you need me to be
At least I've been trying lately
You're so tired of this back and forth
Won't you please just save me
I will be what you want me to be
At least that's what I've been trying lately
I'll give you four if you ask me for three
Oh won't you be my safety
I will be where you need me to be
At least I've been trying lately
You're so tired of this back and forth
Won't you please just save me
I will be what you want me to be
At least that's what I've been trying lately
I'll give you four if you ask me for three
Oh won't you be my safety

If this is the final time we do this tonight
Breathe it off to the side
Take a moment to catch your breath and clear your head before continuing
Your steady breathing's been keeping my time
Your breathing is helping me keep track of time or stay calm
I will be where you need me to be
I will support and help you in any way you need
At least I've been trying lately
I may not have been successful in the past, but I am making an effort now
You're so tired of this back and forth
You are exhausted from the constant back and forth or ups and downs
Won't you please just save me
Please help me or rescue me from this situation

I will give you more than you ask for or need, just to show my support
Oh won't you be my safety
Please be there for me and make me feel secure and protected
