Inside Out
Nicholas Connell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said you're gonna be here in a minute
Sitting in the mirror getting pretty
Gotta look my best if we're gonna break up
Gotta look my best if we're gonna break up

I can hear you knocking at the front door
And I know exactly what you came for
Try to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy
Try to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy

You touch me and it's breaking me down
And me down and me down and me down
I'm telling you let's just give it up and get down
And get down and get down

So come on
Won't you give me something to remember?
Baby shut your mouth and turn me inside out
Even though we couldn't last forever, baby
You know what I want right now

Hit me one more time it's so amazing
How you shook my world and flipped it upside down
You're the only one who ever drove me crazy
'Cause you know me inside out, inside out

I know that we probably shouldn't do this
Wake up in the morning feeling stupid
Said that we were done but you're all up all on me
Said that we were done but you're all up all on me

Tell me how we got in this position
Guess I gotta get you out my system
Try to let you go but it's not that easy
Try to let you go but it's not that easy

You touch me and it's breaking me down
And me down and me down and me down
I'm telling you let's just give it up and get down
And get down and get down

So come on
Won't you give me something to remember?
Baby shut your mouth and turn me inside out
Even though we couldn't last forever, baby
You know what I want right now

Hit me one more time it's so amazing
How you shook my world and flipped it upside down
You're the only one who ever drove me crazy
'Cause you know me inside out, inside out

So come on
Won't you give me something to remember?
Baby shut your mouth and turn me inside out
Even though we couldn't last forever, baby
You know what I want right now

Hit me one more time it's so amazing
How you shook my world and flipped it upside down




You're the only one who ever drove me crazy
'Cause you know me inside out
