Novocaine
Jordyne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So when I touch down on road
Might pop up at your place
Flashing lights
And all that smoke
I live without shame
So we could pour up
And sip slow
She's known to make it rain

My blood so vampire cold
Had me numb
Like novocaine
So when I touch down on road
Might pop up at your place
Flashing lights
And all that smoke
I live without shame
So we could pour up
And sip slow
She's known to make it rain
My blood so vampire cold
Had me numb
Like novocaine

It's just me and you
And a lil substance
That's just me and you
Baby we could run shit
Whippin' down 6th Ave
Pull up to the function
She said that I'm evil
Never said I wasn't
Need a little more
Fill it up to the top
She been on one
And I keep it on lock
She said you're the one, yeah
Never gon' stop
Love the way I roll
Love the way I rock

So when I touch down on road
Might pop up at your place
Flashing lights
And all that smoke
I live without shame
So we could pour up
And sip slow
She's known to make it rain
My blood so vampire cold
Had me numb
Like novocaine
So when I touch down on road
Might pop up at your place
Flashing lights
And all that smoke
I live without shame
So we could pour up
And sip slow
She's known to make it rain
My blood so vampire cold

Had me numb
Like novocaine
