Cluster Bomb
SAKARIS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know this is gonna be around for a long time

When you tell me hello
When you tell me your name
When you break in through my door
When you light up the flame
When you tell me I'm beautiful
I know this is gonna be around for a long time

I can tell it's gonna be a long, long time
'Till these moments disappear into the rain
I can feel your words already broke me down
I pull myself together all the time

I know this is gonna be around for a long time

When you say I look good
Then you shake me to the core
When you say you believe in me
And then you tell me I'm a whore
When you tell me I can't stand up straight
When I get lost in the words that you say
I know this is gonna be around for a long time

I can tell it's gonna be a long, long time
'Till these moments disappear into the rain
I can feel your words already broke me down
I pull myself together all the time

I can tell it's gonna be a long, long time
'Till these moments disappear into the rain
I can feel your words already broke me down
I pull myself together all the time





I know this is gonna be around for a long time

Elski hetta lagið og video. Keyboardljóðið minnir meg um eitt ið eg brúkti nógv í 90'unum. Fái ordiliga flash back, -eitt ella annað Bom funk mc yvir hesum.
