Loose Kaboose
Mallory Merk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I let my feelings down in cries cause I'm awkward
Ask me what I like, say I like what comes first
Call me fundamental cause my funds are on my mind first
Oh, I'm on a loose kaboose
Going off the rails and I don't got no rules
Oh, I'm on a loose kaboose
Oh, I'm on a loose kaboose
Loose kaboose, loose kaboose, loose kaboose
Kaboose-boose, kaboose, loose kaboose, kaboose-boose, oh
Keep my music turned up when I'm balancing my energy
Famous, honey coming through my speakers like it 'pose to be
Parents all too scared I might leave my life up to the streets
Don't pick up my phone, leave a message when you hear the beep
Oh, I'm on a loose kaboose
Going off the rails and I don't got no rules
Oh, I'm on a loose kaboose
Mom says all my friends are punks and I need an excuse
Oh, I'm on a loose kaboose
Loose kaboose, loose kaboose, loose kaboose
Kaboose-boose, kaboose, loose kaboose, kaboose-boose, oh
