Hotwire
Mark Ballas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Days all bleed into one another
Lately
My brain is strained
And I got no direction
Maybe
We could pick up all the pieces off the ground
Now you'd better break all the windows
Hotwire my heart
You are the cables
When I fall apart
And I'm goin' nowhere
If this battery dies
In a blink of an eye
We'll be bending time
Whoa whoa...
And I've been drained from all of your affection
Lately
But I can't complain you're the queen of all deception
Maybe
We should look at all these faces in the crowd
When I smile until your curtain is comin' down down down
Now you'd better break all the windows
Hotwire my heart
You are the cables
When I fall apart
And I'm goin' nowhere
If this battery dies
In a blink of an eye
We'll be bending time.
This building's at capacity
This bomb's a ticking tragedy
I've got no philosophy
Just pleading for this scenery to change
And for me to say
You'd better break all the windows
Hotwire my heart
You are the cables
When I fall apart
And I'm goin' nowhere
If this battery dies
In a blink of an eye
We'll be bending time
You'd better break all the windows
Hotwire my heart
You are the cables
When I fall apart
And I'm goin' nowhere
If this battery dies
In a blink of an eye
We'll be bending time
Whoa whoa...
In the blink of an eye
We'll be bending time
In the blink of an eye
We're gonna be wondering why
In the blink of an eye
We'll be bending time.

Days all bleed into one another

Recently
My brain is strained
I am under a lot of stress
And I got no direction
I am lost and aimless
Maybe
Perhaps
We could pick up all the pieces off the ground
We can try to fix the situation we are in
To this puzzle overtakin' people down down down
The situation we are in is affecting many people
Now you'd better break all the windows
You need to take a bold step to fix things
Hotwire my heart
Bring back the passion and love into my life
You are the cables
You are the one who connects me to life
When I fall apart
When I am broken and lost
And I'm goin' nowhere
I am stuck with no progress
If this battery dies
If I lose my energy
In a blink of an eye
Very quickly
We'll be bending time
We'll make significant progress in a short time
And I've been drained from all of your affection
I feel like I am losing the love and care from you
But I can't complain you're the queen of all deception
I cannot accuse you of anything, as you are the expert in hiding things
Maybe
Perhaps
We should look at all these faces in the crowd
We should take note of the people around us
When I smile until your curtain is comin' down down down
When I can no longer pretend and hide my true emotions
This building's at capacity
I am feeling overwhelmed
This bomb's a ticking tragedy
The situation is dangerous and could be disastrous
I've got no philosophy
I am clueless on what to do
Just pleading for this scenery to change
I am begging for the situation to improve
And for me to say
So that I can express myself
We're gonna be wondering why
We'll be curious and amazed at the improvement in a short time
In the blink of an eye
Very quickly
We'll be bending time.
We'll make significant progress and things will feel much better
