Sunrise
Merlot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's only two of us, two of us
Let me know
I wanna fool with ya, fool with ya
Slow your roll
And what you do with us is fully up to your control
I wanna get into some shit outside my comfort zone

I don't wanna get to know you better
I don't wanna give it all I got
I like the way that you don't know my name
I think it's sexy maybe you forgot
I like the way you wanna turn me over
Like the way you wanna be in charge

All I, all I need are the stars and the moonlight
And I need you to hold me all night
We can do what we do when it feels right
But I need you to leave when the sunrise
All I need are the stars and the moonlight
And I need you to hold me all night
We can do what we do when it feels right
But I need you to leave when the sunrise
When the sunrise
When the sunrise
When the sunrise

There's only two of us, two of us
Say the word
I wanna do it rough, do it rough
Take your turn
I see you smiling in my face, it's like you never learn
I wanna break it down all from the back and in reverse

I don't wanna let you have my number
I don't wanna hear another word
I feel so crazy with your hands around me
Grip and turn baby do your worst
I feel the magic that you put around me
It's a blessing, it's a curse

All I, all I need are the stars and the moonlight
And I need you to hold me all night
We can do what we do when it feels right
But I need you to leave when the sunrise
All I need are the stars and the moonlight
And I need you to hold me all night
We can do what we do when it feels right
But I need you to leave when the sunrise
When the sunrise
When the sunrise
When the sunrise
Baby when the sun goes down
Love it when the sun goes down
Needed you to fill me up
Need to spin my world around

All I, all I need are the stars and the moonlight
And I need you to hold me all night
We can do what we do when it feels right
But I need you to leave when the sunrise
All I need are the stars and the moonlight
And I need you to hold me all night
We can do what we do when it feels right
But I need you to leave when the sunrise
When the sunrise
When the sunrise
When the sunrise
When the sunrise (baby when the sun goes down)
When the sunrise (love it when the sun goes down)




When the sunrise (needed you to fill me up)
When the sunrise
