Come With Me
Pensive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As her voice breaks the awkward silence
She says if you don't mind I'd like to wait
Just another day to see what happens
Come with me, we'll ruin all your dreams
I'm everything you never wanted
Everything you need
You'll never know, you'll never know
This is your chance to be
Everything you never thought you'd be
Til you lose control, til you lose control
This is your chance to be
Everything you never thought you'd be
And when we met it was dark and cold
There she stood alone waiting for her love
I wonder should I drive her home
Or just rip off her clothes, I wanna rip off her clothes
Come with me, we'll ruin all your dreams
I'm everything you never wanted
Everything you need
Come with me, forget everything
You'll never know, you'll never know
This is your chance to be
Everything you never thought you'd be
Til you lose control, til you lose control
This is your chance to be
Everything you never thought you'd be
