Melt
Nilufer Yanya Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing for more
Dancing for
All through the night
Got to be sure
You've got to be
I'm by your side
Has to be mean
It has to be

I'm by your side
I'm by your side
All through the night

You are alone
Nothing is out there
In comes the high
With all the lows where
There's nowhere to hide
You could be lost
Yeah, you could be lost

I bet your brain cells won't last
I bet they cling to the trash
I hope you melt on the way
Back to your place
Because the sunshine don't last
I help them take out the trash
And you were always too slow
I'll watch you melt

Asking for more
Asking for
Although you're right
Goals to be fit
Goals to be sick
I'll make you mine
Has to be this
I have to be
I'll make you mine
I'll make you mine
Although you're right

You are alone
Nothing is out there
In comes the high
With all the lows where
There's nowhere to hide
You could be lost
Yeah, you could be lost

I bet your brain cells won't last
I bet they cling to the trash
I hope you melt on the way
Back to your place
Because the sunshine don't last
I help them take out the trash
And you were always too slow
I'll watch you melt

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I bet your brain cells won't last (oh, oh)
I bet they cling to the trash (oh, oh)
I hope you melt on the way (oh, oh)
Back to your place (oh, oh)
Because the sunshine don't last (oh,oh)
I help them take out the trash (oh,oh)
And you were always too slow (oh,oh)
I'll watch you melt (oh, oh)

I'll watch you melt
I'll watch you melt
I'll watch you melt

I'll watch you melt
I'll watch you melt
