Richard Brokensha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had you in a moment, so how did I ever let you go?
Come back, I need you, like an addict, I'll never let it show, no
All this shit can burn, I'll just light up the fire in your heart
And can you remember the feeling you had from the start?

We were getting high
We were getting high

Falling into you like the ocean, the waves come crashing down
It's not only your body the hunger inside your eyes consumes me, yeah
All this shit can burn, I'll just breathe another beat into my heart
And can you remember the feeling you had from the start?

We were getting high
We were getting high

We were getting high

We were getting high
We were getting high
