Popsicle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, oh you
is this what it would feel like
if I was through with you
Would it take my morron is it I can choose
Oh you
I know what I'd be missing without
know what I'd be missing without you
You, oh you
The spot there in you eyes though I was through
Oh you
Caught up in your web and so confused
Oh you
I know that I'd be happy without
know that I'd be happy without you

You, oh you
I lost today and I found out it was you
oh you really wish I never had to choose
oh you




cause times are getting harder, oh yeah
times are getting harder without you
