Overdose
Shekhinah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So cold
All I really want when I'm alone is you
I'm always
Thinking bout the things I want when I'm alone
Wish we were smoking
So cold
All I really want when I'm alone is you
I'm always sinking
In the clouds in my room
Take me back to when I'm overdosing on your love, yeah
And I just keep on floating through your motions
When I'm hoping I could hold you
In that moment
I'm thinking it will get too far
And I wanna never get too tight with you, yeah
We just always get too high and days go by

Still you just never get what I want, yeah
Gotta get what I need
I gotta get what she wants, she needs, she got yeah
You just never get what I want
You all I want, you all I want
You all I want
I'm overdosing on your love, yeah
Overdosing, yeah
Still, I don't mind
(no, no, no we don't)
Still I don't mind (no we don't)

Inform me where you go when I see you leaving me
I guess you're just done with needing me
Sometimes I just doubt what you mean to me
Bust a leaf again
So you feel like my whole summer was part of your destiny
I let you be
I light some green
I sink into the clouds
Let my days dream
Sink into the clouds
Let my days dream
And I don't wanna be so mean but I
Get all caught up in my feelings
When you say the smallest thing, no, you just can't achieve it
No, I don't believe it
But I know you feel it too
Yeah I know you feel
I'm frozen inside
The love that you give me don't warm me
I try, yeah, I try

Still you just never get what I want, yeah
Gotta get what I need
I gotta get what she wants, she needs, she got yeah
You just never get what I want
You all I want, you all I want
You all I want
I'm overdosing on your love, yeah
Overdosing, yeah
Still, I don't mind
(no, no, no we don't)

Looking at your face
I can see you coming from a different place




Baby, I think I was something more of an escape
Still, I don't mind, yeah
