Drones
Numi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don′t understand that I need my privacy
I'm fed up now with all your constant nagging
You′re pushing me away, it's a drag
Every time I pick up the phone
When I say I gotta leave, now you get offended
Gotta know when to let me go

Quit worrying about losing me
That's the easiest way to lose me
You′ve got drones in the sky
Thinking it′ll help if you go get high

Quit worrying about losing me
That's the easiest way to lose me
I′m growing tired by the day
Can't you see you′re driving me away

We used to have fun
Back when you respected my boundaries and
We used to have fun
It was so easy to believe in us
Now my time, you take for granted
Now you're forgetting what′s held us together
I don't like this back and forth with you
Can we just chill like we used to?

Quit worrying about losing me
That's the easiest way to lose me
You′ve got drones in the sky
Thinking it′ll help if you go get high (get high)

Quit worrying about losing me
That's the easiest way to lose me
I′m growing tired by the day
Can't you see you′re driving me away

I wish that we could go back
I wish that we could go back
I wish that we could go back
I wish that we could go back
I wish that we could go back
I wish that we could go back

Quit worrying about losing me
That's the easiest way to lose me
You′ve got drones in the sky (in the sky)
Thinking it'll help if you go get high

Quit worrying about losing me
That's the easiest way to lose me




I′m growing tired by the day
Can′t you see you're driving me away (driving me away)

Drones in the sky.
It's no wonder why.
I always feel your eyes on me
Hone in on my lies.
I ain't holdin' on the times
You hold me in these binds.
Rollin' like it's fine,
But it's holdin' back my grind.
Now, in the back of my mind.
I know that you tryin'
and the pressure you're applyin'
equals less pleasure when we're lyin'.
So let's stop with all the punishment
While I look at what you're runnin' wit'
Cuz you keep a homie wonderin'
Where the sugar 'n' the honey went.
