Living Room Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t speak, no, don't try
It′s been a secret for the longest time
Don't run (oh), no, don't hide
Been running from it for the longest time

So many mornings I woke up confused
In my dreams, I do anything I want to you
My emotions are naked, they′re taking me out of my mind

Right now I′m shameless
Screamin' my lungs out for ya
Not afraid to face it
I need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want to
Show me you′re shameless
Write it on my neck, why don't ya?
And I won′t erase it
I need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want to

Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don't wanna do this now
Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don′t wanna do this now
Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don't wanna do this now
Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don't wanna do this now

So we′re there
Now it′s real
Now that you have me, do you want me still?
My kisses are history, they go back a long time
And I'm tired of loving somebody that′s not mine

So many mornings I woke up confused
In my dreams, I do anything I want to you
My emotions are naked, they're taking me out of my mind (mind)

Right now I′m shameless
Screamin' my lungs out for ya
Not afraid to face it
I need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want to
Show me you′re shameless
Write it on my neck, why don't ya?
And I won't erase it
I need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want to

Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don′t wanna do this now
Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don′t wanna do this now
Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don't wanna do this now
Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don′t wanna do this now

There's just inches in between us
I want you to give in, I want you to give in
There is tension in between us
I just wanna give in
And I don′t care if I'm forgiven

Right now I′m shameless
Screamin' my lungs out for ya
Not afraid to face it
I need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want to
Show me you're shameless
Write it on my neck, why don′t ya?
And I won′t erase it
I need you more than I want to
I need you more than I want to

Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don't wanna do this now
Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don′t wanna do this now




Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don't wanna do this now
Nuh-uh, uh-uh, don′t wanna do this now
