My Dead Girlfriend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was running under blazing sun, trying to escape from the heat
Your animal speaks incisively, hassle as broken machine
No more words, but everything reminds me of your rusty guitar strings
Don't say anything, you'll be fine with your girlfriend from now on
One state from another, i'm waiting for your kisses
No story to be shared, i'm waiting for your kisses
Whatever it is, I know it's not your fault
I was chasing you all around the
town, trying to catch the slightest sound
Your animal speaks incisively, hassle as broken machine
No more words, but everything reminds me of your rusty guitar strings
Don't say anything, you'll be fine with your girlfriend from now on
One state from another, i'm waiting for your kisses
No story to be shared, i'm waiting for your kisses
