LadiPOE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes on me baby when you whine upon it
Die for you baby put my life upon it
Ride for me baby you know I must admit
When you do like that
You make me wan move right back
Why can't we move time back
Why can't we do like that
I should've taken more care when I stepped up to be the one that you had chosen
I wish we could go back but time doesn't care about missed opportunities or lies we both use
Or the price of the queen that I lost in two moves
I wanna kiss the scar even though I left the bruise on your heart
My name is on your lips
And I see you everywhere I go
And baby if I slip
Save me when I'm falling
Even when I'm all in
They don't make love like this no more
Answer when I'm calling
Come around my way
Don't leave just stay
I don't wanna make the same mistakes yeah
Save me when I'm falling
High for my baby cos you light up on it
Eyes on me baby when you whine upon it
Die for you baby put my life upon it
Ride for me baby you know I must admit
I made mistakes I can't forget it
I felt your love it's incandescence
Nothing's changed except addresses
One song can't hold all my confessions
But it's not enough though
We should have stayed exclusive like country club though
I held on to excuses it's time to let go
Cos immature games are for old Nintendo's
I
I had to realize sometimes falling is the biggest step that we ever take
All I need is a leap of faith
Save me when I'm falling
Even when I'm all in
They don't make love like this no more
Answer when I'm calling
Come around my way
Don't leave just stay
I don't wanna make the same mistakes yeah
Save me when I'm falling
High on me baby cos you light up on it
Eyes on me baby when you whine upon it
Die for you baby put my life upon it
Ride for me baby you know I must admit
When you do like that
You make me wan move right back
Why can't we move time back
Why can't we do like that
Come around my way
Don't leave just stay
I don't wanna make the same mistakes yeah
Come around my way
Don't leave just stay
I don't wanna make the same mistakes yeah
