Salt Cathedral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you've wanted to say that you're so down
When your everything hits the ground
And you're losing your way, I want you know, I know I want you love
Rude boy, I'm wishing you the bestest
Crude oil, I know, I know it's tough
To uncoil and keep rooting for the quest but
That I want your love
No more tears on the weekend
Drop your fears let 'em peak and
Cool that, ooh love
I think you're in it for the right
For the right kinda reasons
'Cause we're all looking for a peace of mind
And we all wanna be electric
And feel like we're lifted above the ground
Above the ground
Electric and feel like we're lifted above the ground
Above the ground
Electric and feel like we're lifted above the ground
Don't we all wanna crank it loud?
And just feel like well stay and ride that wave
Be resilient and never fade
But we all lose our way
I want you know, I know I want you love
Rude boy, I'm wishing you the bestest
Crude oil, I know, I know it's tough
To uncoil and keep rooting for the quest but
Rude boy, pull up
That I want your love
No more tears on the weekend
Drop your fears let 'em peak and
Cool that, ooh love
I think you're in it for the right
For the right kinda reasons
'Cause we're all looking for a peace of mind
And we all wanna be electric
And feel like we're lifted above the ground
Above the ground
Electric and feel like we're lifted above the ground
Above the ground
We all wanna be electric
And feel like we're lifted above the ground
Going up, going up, going up
Electric and feel like we're lifted above the ground
Going up, going up, going up
I know that your demons are trying to break you up
It'll never work
Don't they ever learn
You and I, we are full of life
No more tears on the weekend
Drop your fears let 'em peak and
Cool that, ooh love
I think you're in it for the right
For the right kinda reasons
'Cause we're all looking for a peace of mind
And we all wanna be electric
And feel like we're lifted above the ground
No more tears on the weekend
Drop your fears let 'em peak and
Cool that, ooh love
I think you're in it for the right
For the right kinda reasons
'Cause we're all looking for a peace of mind
And we all wanna be electric
And feel like we're lifted above the ground
Above the ground
Electric and feel like we're lifted above the ground
Above the ground
Electric and feel like we're lifted above the ground
Rude boy, I'm wishing you the bestest
Crude oil, I know, I know it's tough
To uncoil and keep rooting for the quest but
Rude boy, pull up
That I want your love
