Charmed Life
Icebird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

got … and a bowl of rice
What I need
Is some strong advice
Better yet
I like to be comfortable
Give me the key to that 530
Tonight, let's be civilized
We live a job right
I just can't put you aside
Not just yet, know it's time my darling
Took a left, and we hit the dead end
So we went, but I think we should that again
If you got time, then just roll on by
When you arrive, you'll see I'm in no condition to drive
How these words drive you wild
I need to love you, drowning in light
Tonight, let's be civilized
We live a job right
I just can't put you aside
Not just yet, know it's time my darling
Not just yet, know it's time my darling
know it's time my darling, know it's time my darling
know it's time
I'm alive, but I'm nowhere you know
I'm right here, but you're there that's impossible
Know I should have




I can't leave your side
Not just yet, plus I'm in no condition to drive.

They express a need to live in the moment and be "civilized" with their partner, suggesting a desire for stability and normalcy in their relationship.

Despite acknowledging that they have reached a dead end, the singer suggests that they should try again, indicating a desire to overcome obstacles in their relationship.
