Girl At Coachella
MATOMA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought I met the one
She had everything I wanted
A beauty in the sun
And we like the same bands

We danced, we laughed, we took a couple things
We screamed, we clapped, like kids in the rain
The time we had was something from a dream
'Til reality kicked in

And she said, she said she'd run away with me
So I took her to the VIP
And when the lights went on, she was gone forever
Never trust a girl at Coachella
She said she was the one for me
She was kissing me from cheek to cheek
But when the lights went on, she was gone forever
Never trust a girl at Coachella

I met another one (I met another one)
Standing in a sundress
She was innocent at first (She was innocent at first)
Introduced me to her girlfriends

We danced, we laughed, with water in our hands
We screamed, we clapped, like kids in the sand
She restored my faith in the human race
'Til reality kicked in
And she said

She said she'd run away with me
So I took her to the VIP
And when the lights went on, she was gone forever
Never trust a girl at Coachella
She said she was the one for me
She was kissing me from cheek to cheek
But when the lights went on, she was gone forever
(She was gone, gone, gone, gone)
Never trust a girl at Coachella

I'm still trippin' off a devious plan
I was trippin' off the shrooms
She was trippin' for a band
She took notice of some fans
And stopped for pics, 'cause I'm the man
She jumped over on my dick
'Cause she just realized who I am
Got her past the gate, actin' like my date
Soon as she got in, started actin' fake
She ain't wanna stay close to me
Even though she was just blowin' me
Blowin' in the wind, bus to bus
Member to member, all for lust
Lead singer to the man on the drums
Slow in her waist but as fast as they come

She said she'd run away with me
So I took her to the VIP
And when the lights went on, she was gone forever (she was gone)
Never trust a girl at Coachella
She said she was the one for me
She was kissing me from cheek to cheek
But when the lights went on, she was gone forever (she was gone)
Never trust a girl at Coachella

She was gone
(Run away with me)
She was gone
VIP
When the Lights went on, she was gone forever




Never trust a girl at Coachella
