Between Cans
Hinds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And as always I was late
God knows how clean was that place but nobody seemed really to care.
You tried to bright, you tried to bright, you tried to bright between cans
And you looked at me, from that dirty coach and I swear that I wanted to suck you
Baby what are doing to me?
That you are always in here
And step by step you are doing your moves don't play with the grill
And I tried to hide, I tried to hide, I tried to hide that.
My bra is not closed, you pick up my nose and I swear that I wanted to suck you
Baby what are doing to me?
Well you didn't know I was closer than what I looked like
You knew there was no plan, but I'll try just as hard as I can.
I'd have you, I'd trap you, I feel you inside my veins
And I'd have you, I'd grab you, I meet you inside my brain
