Mellow
Natsuo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You could never see how you make me feel all night
You could never see how hard I try to make you mine
You seem to be unable to pass my mind, you're like all my types
I wish I never met you so I can be alright
I don't feel alright
I can't wait to see you in the summer when it all starts to get Mellow
(Starts to get Mellow)
I can't wait to see you all dressed in yellow
(Dressed in Yellow)
The moon it shines for you in different ways
You could always try to run and leave from your past mistakes
Rose's stay bright yet dark
I'll meet you when it's dark
We can slow dance through night and day
Ooh~
Can you hear my voice?
Can you hear my voice?
Can you hear me now?
You seem to come back every time you're held up in time, open up the wine
Open up the wine
You seem like you were fine, guess it's all about time
In summer it's time
I can't wait to see you in the summer when it all starts to get Mellow
(Starts to get Mellow)
I can't wait to see you all dressed in yellow
(Dressed in Yellow)
You seem to be unable to pass my mind, you're like all my types




I wish I never met you so I can be alright
I don't feel alright
