Is It You
Iann Dior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who am I? Who are you?
Why you here tonight?
Another time, another place
Layin' in the rain
And then the waves started crashing the walls in my mind
There's nothing left that I could do
So fuck a watch (watch), fuck a chain (chain)
Don't need none of that (I need you)
Found a bomb, and found the love
That brought me down inside
And then the walls started crashing, you can't be replaced
Or maybe it's all in my head

'Cause you
You let me listen and you left me wandering
Oh, oh
And why
Am I still standing on the same ground as you?
I don't know
Is it you? Uh
Is it you?
Is it you? (Shit, I don't know)

She had my mind twisted, uh, head spinning
I'm over my limit, watchin' the clocks spinning (oh)
I lost all feeling, I'm finna wild out
I know we far from finished, we came too far to end it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Looking for some peace, don't know where to go
Praying for some peace, looking for some love
But I never can 'cause it's hard to find
Oh, I wish there was a way that I could hit rewind
But I can't 'cause I been running off an empty tank
And I've seen enough to hurt me for eternity
Got no choice but to try and find another way
I know that there'll never be another way
Ooh, ooh
Got me going down, down, down, down, down, down
Ooh, ooh
Chains dragging on the ground, ground, ground, ooh

'Cause you
You let me listen and you left me wandering
Oh, oh
And why
Am I still standing on the same ground as you?
I don't know




Is it you? Uh
Is it you
