SBTRKT; little dragon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rushing the night like a shark babe
Would it be bad
If I had to set the alarm
'Cause those thrills that run up my back
You are my star
Nothing else can lead me off track
You're like a wildfire
Got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
I could bet all the riches that I ever had
Rushing the night like a shark babe
Would it be bad
Hey, yeah
You're like a wildfire
Got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
Hey, yeah
You're like a wildfire
Got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
