J.Jean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which for me is eating cheetos in my bed
Watching movies and drinking chocolate milk alone
I guess it's my antisocial tendencies that are keeping me from my friends
And the things that could be helping me get by
Oh, but it'll get better they say
Step by step, and day by day
Inch by inch, and play by play
So what'll you do when all that you love slowly drifts away from you
And there's no-one you can blame except yourself?
When you fall, and you bleed
Will you need me to be the one that keeps you operating?
'Cause if so then I'll get comfortable
So cut the bullshit and show me that you mean it
When you tell me that you'll love me every day until you die,
'Cause you're the only thing I need to help keep me alive for the next few years or so
'Cause you're the meanest when you know that I need it
And the worst thing that you could ever do to me
Is leave me wondering if you still love me too
