Sugar Rush
MEI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waving out the window,
I smile for the second time.
Wait around for a while
Like you got something more to say.
Glisten on your cheekbones,
You cry for the second time,
And the Southern California skies light you up like a movie.
I don’t seem to mind
If it’s only you wasting my time.
Got me tasting sweet dreams all through the night.
You’re like a sugar rush baby.

I keep quiet let you keep talking
Run them miles
Rental car stalling
5th and Western
Pushing to start
In the Golden State
Heat wave in LA
I keep quiet let you keep talking
Broke my phone
Use yours to call it
5th and Western
Dodging the traffic
Missed my flight
No way to catch it
I keep quiet you do the talking
Run them miles
Run to keep walking
5th and Western
This what I wanted

I don’t seem to mind
If it’s only you wasting my time.




Got me tasting sweet dreams all through the night.
You’re like a sugar rush baby
