Neighbor
Los Elk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So if I decide to go out tonight
I need a guarantee that it's gonna be alright
Between us
Don't know what came between us
Such a shame
I don't wanna be the one to have to but I'll take the blame

So if I decide to go out on the town
I need a guarantee that you're gonna be around
Tomorrow
For some time that I could borrow

What's your angle, little angel?
I'm collecting all the feathers
That are falling right off of your wings

I wear my favorite shirt
You didn't notice but I didn't care to say anything
I rid my nails of the dirt
I've only got a little while until they're dirty again
Some people say I'm a flirt
I'm not agreeing but I'm also not denying a thing
I've had enough, your time is up

So if I decide to go out tonight
I need a guarantee that it's gonna be out of sight
Let's make it worth it for the time we spent
At yet another fucking underwhelming social event
Where I pulled out the moves
It's true I'm moving for you

I wear my favorite shirt
You didn't notice but I didn't care to say anything
I rid my nails of the dirt
I've only got a little while until they're dirty again
Some people say I'm a flirt
I'm not agreeing but I'm also not denying a thing
I've had enough, your time is up

You're in my situation
Like a looming storm in a pilot's eye
No reply
I lack the motivation
But if you help me I could try
I could try now, couldn't I?

I wear my favorite shirt
You didn't notice but I didn't care to say anything
I rid my nails of the dirt
I've only got a little while until they're dirty again
Some people say I'm a flirt
I'm not agreeing but I'm also not denying a thing

Little angel




I'm collecting all the feathers
That are falling right off of your wings
