Clover
Latepost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know why I don't fall asleep at night
It might have something to do with my wild life
You get your heart broken, you're not outspoken
Such an introvert
Feel like a hero whose powers went to zero
That I didn't deserve
So I'm taking it back
And I'm getting back my cash
Hours from now, I think I'm gonna quit smoking
Get a text from a girl that I really was hoping for
She'll forget her coat, my heart will be sold
I'll let her borrow mine
Wait a few days, tomorrow, Thursday
I'll get my coat back in time
So I'm taking it back
And I'm getting back my cash
Well, it was good to talk to you, my friend
It's better than typing away at my phone
I'm getting overwhelmed, I'm going through hell
Tapping out for a bit
I miss her so much, it wasn't real love
I'm not okay with it
So I'm taking it back
And I'm getting back my cash
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)




(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
