Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Know you always right, now
Know I need you 'round with me
But nobody waitin' 'round with me
Been through the ups
Yeah the ups and the downs with me
Got a whole lot of love
But you don't wanna spread it 'round with me, yeah
You know we're runnin' out of time

We've been through it all
But you could never spit it out for me
Tryna talk to a wall
But you could never tear it down for me, yeah
