Ry x Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep the car running
Lavender fingers
Swallow my pollen
Gold, I swam into your spell
On the rite of God we fell
You were plush and I laid bare
Cold, I fell into your skin
On the night you led me under your sin
You had me howling
You had me howling
Blush
Blush
Blush
Blush
Golden siren
Under exposing
Come lay your weakness down
On the floor in the backseat
Gold, I fell into your spell
On the rite of God we fell
You were plush and I laid bare
You had me howling
Cold, I fell into your skin
On the night you led me under your sin
You had me howling
You had me howling
Blush
