J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And everytime.
I turn to you to keep me warm
To hold it back
To hold them back

Everytime.
I turn to you to keep me warm
To hold it back

To hold them back

Don't let them in
Please don't let them in
Banging on the door they want to take me away
(take me away)
Please don't let them in
Hold mylips tighter, keep me warm

(Keep me warm)
Keep me warm
