Novocaine
Humane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you remember us dancing on the ocean
Do you remember us getting drunk with the sun
Nowhere in a hurry, nowhere to run
Darling, I know not what to do
I can't take my eyes off you
So much laughter so much pain
Do you remember us sitting on a lonely star
Tears reminding us our homes are very far
Do you remember our secret hiding place
Where we used to make love face to face
Darling, I know not what to do
I can't take my eyes off you
So much laughter so much pain
You were my Novocaine
Do you remember us meeting on a charter plane
Yellow car lights fading away
The naked highway losing it's trace
Our future will bring empty days
Darling, I know not what to do
I can't take my eyes off you
So much laughter so much pain
You were my Novocaine
