Boom
Ngaiire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:
That was how we did it
Shootin up 100
Driving without a permit
Flatline any minute
And we never gave a damn
Cuz we up in our feelings
Pull up hell or heaven
Late night seven eleven
Screaming in the parking lot
Tryna get each other shot
Yeah remember that's how we did

Pre:
Don't forget my name
The space on your chest
Where my head used to rest
Don't forget my name
And the place we met
When the bombs they go off

Chorus:
And they go
Boom in the morning
Boom in ya bed
Boom for the lovin
And the weed that we shared

Boom for the running
Boom back again
Boom for the sorry
I won't do that again

Soon there be fire
Soon in ya head
Soon I'm a liar
For the things that I said

Soon cease fire
Soon break bread
Soon we will tire
For the things that were said

Verse 2:
What we did in the shadows
Wine & tequila
Drank each other under the table
Hit the bottle hit the ceiling
Never coming up for air
Yeah we kept on believing

Garden of Eden
I was your Eve yeah you were my Adam
Sunk everything we got
Now we don't even talk
I remember that's what we did

Pre:
Don't forget my name
And the place we met
When the bombs they go off

And they go

Chorus:
Boom in the morning
Boom in ya bed
Boom for the lovin
And the weed that we shared

Boom for the running
Boom back again
Boom for the sorry
I won't do that again

Soon there be fire
Soon in ya head
Soon I'm a liar
For the things that I said

Soon cease fire
Soon break bread
Soon we will tire
For the things that were said

Bridge:
In another life
Please come and say hi
You might hear me sigh
Now I know that you were right

In another life
All the stars aligned
We came out just fine
Everything turned out alright

In an na na nother life
Please come and say come say hi
You might hear you might hear me sigh
Now I know that you were right

In an na na nother life

All the stars they came aligned
We came out we came out just fine
Everything turned out alright
Eh everything turned out alright

Pre:
Don't forget my name
Eh everything turned out alright
The space on your chest
Eh everything turned out alright
Where my head used to rest
Don't forget my name
Eh everything turned out alright

And the place we met
When the bombs they go off

And they go

Chorus:
Boom in the morning
Boom in ya bed
Boom for the lovin
And the weed that we shared

Boom for the running
Boom back again




Boom for the sorry
I won't do that again
