Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, 'cause you always tryna get ahead of light
Baby when you go
You know I'll be waiting on the other side
And I'm always cold
But if you stay then I could keep you warm at night
Don't be a fool for the city nights
Baby with you I can never lie
Don't go chasing all the headlights
Oh, I could feel the beating of your heartache drum
Oh, don't know if I'm dreaming or if you have gone
Every time you go
Hits me like a bullet from a broken gun
Yeah I know it's cold
But if you stay then Then I could give you all my love
Oh, and don't be a fool for the city nights
I know it's cool but it's only light
Baby with you I can never lie
So don't go chasing all the headlights
ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh and don't be a fool for the city lights
I know it's cool but it's only light
Baby with you I can never lie
So don't go chasing all the headlights
