Union Square
Intervurt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said, "You can be anything you wanna be."
I said, "You can take anything you want from me."
But I'm starting to think
This could be worse than I thought
That we're part of a big mistake

She said, "You can go anywhere you wanna go."
So I said, "You take me now, I'll do anything you wanna oh,"

But I'm starting to crack
When I was under attack
I know I'm losing my mind again

Cover me in lights
Cover me in lights
And they still won't come
Cover me in lights
Cover me in lights
And they still won't come
In Union

She said, a different time, I could say anything I wanna say
She knows when she levitates she can pass right through me
Now I'm close to the edge
Here let me draw you a line
It's a line in the sand for us

Cover me in lights
Cover me in lights
And they still won't come
Cover me in lights
Cover me in lights
And they still won't come

Be still
Oh be still
Just be still, my love
Be still
Oh be still
Just be still, my love
As we build ourselves a union
We build ourselves a union
And we build ourselves a union

Let me take what's mine
Let me have some spice

Let me find some pleasure
When we build ourselves a union
