Darling
Riz La Vie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darlin I c′tell
Your hands were delicate the way they held
The mango as you sliced back thea skin
To reveal food

And darlin I c'tell
Your hands were delicate the way they held
The bottle as you poured it over ice
I was smart and you were nice
And Darlin I c′tell
Your hands were delicate the way they held
The mango as you peeled back the skin
To reveal food

And darlin I c'tell
Your hands were delicate the way they held
The bottle as you poured it over ice
I was smart and you were nice

(Ooh)
Smiles come a dime a dozen
But only when money's worth something
Priceless if in times of struggling
What′re we spending when the worlds ending
You look like you′ve spent time inside
You must have a great place to hide
I been out there there's not a safe place in sight
I haven′t even seen fruit that's ripe
Thought it was over til you changed my mind
Knew you were down when you found out my sign
And since then the jobs just been keeping you alive
And since then these jaws spoiled taking sweeter bites
And since then these claws manicured not coated in
Blood and dirt, ate a salad as an Armageddon happened outside
And Darlin I could tell
You were all by yourself
I made it look like I was tryna help
You took the private stock right off the shelf and popped it for me
Conmen only drink to celebrate a job well
Done And obviously this was not was for me
As far as I can tell I think you′re growing on me
With
Hands that hold like ivy on walls so close I don't wanna leave
This went from a want to a need
The truth and the dares now they′re weaved
You've stolen time from a thief, rolled up my cuffs
Got me clean and washed out the tricks from my sleeve
I been so drained I don't want to deceive

Cause if we′re the only ones left it′s our duty to




Cause if we're the only ones left it′s our duty to breathe
Breathe
