Heave Ho!
Lips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody's trying to hear what I got to say
They can try and pull me down
But my feet stay off the ground
And I'll face em down on my own terms
Comes as a shock, no they'll never learn
I can see em cast the net
But they ain't got me cornered yet
Heave ho
Come get it
Heave ho
It's your loss
Heave ho
So petty
Heave ho
At what cost to you
And I'll take my lead from the one who cares
She had my back till she wasn't there
Doesn't matter who I tell
They got me boxed up on the shelf
Heave ho...
Someday soon my ride will come around
I suggest you be there
Heave ho...




Someday soon my ride will come around
You make sure you'll be there
