No Rights No Wrongs
Jess Glynne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Found an answer looking for a question
Not enough words to make a sentence
It's not easy to find a way
How much water to kill a fire?
How many lows can take you higher?
The only road to your desire
It won't be easy to find a way
I don't know what I believe
I won't let my eyes be deceived
The winds whispering through the trees
That is not gonna be, not gonna be easy
And oh, no rights, no wrongs, take it from me
'Cause the answers are living indefinitely
It's time to face it, 'cause you can't change it
No rights, no wrongs, take it from me
No (Na, na, na)
Take it from me (Oh, oh, oh)
Won't you just take it from me (Na, na, na)
Oh, na, na, na, na
No rights, no wrongs take it from me
How many laughs to make me happy?
I'm counting stars, they make me lucky
How many turns 'til I find me?
It's not easy to find a way
How many lies, 'til a confession
How many prayers, lead to a blessing
How many burns, to learn a lesson
Now, it's not easy to find a way
I don't know what I believe
I won't let my eyes be deceived
The winds whispering through the trees
That is not gonna be, not gonna be easy
And oh, no rights, no wrongs, take it from me
'Cause the answers are living indefinitely
It's time to face it, 'cause you can't change it
No rights, no wrongs, take it from me
No (Na, na, na)
Take it from me (Oh, oh, oh)
Won't you take it from me (Na, na, na)
Oh, na, na, na, na
No rights, no wrongs take it from me
Talk to a stranger and take wrong turns
'Cause in this moment we will make it work
Dance with devils, and taste the burn
'Cause in this moment we will make it work
Oh, oh, no, no, yea, yea
Oh, no, no, no, no
And oh, no rights, no wrongs, take it from me
'Cause the answers are living indefinitely
It's time to face it, 'cause you can't change it
No rights, no wrongs, take it from me
No (Na, na, na)
Take it from me (Oh, oh, oh)
Won't you take it from me (Na, na, na)
Oh, na, na, na, na
No rights, no wrongs take it from me
