When I'm With You
Shitbaby Mammals Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't need drugs when I'm with you
Whenever there's an issue
Oh baby take me with you
In the passenger seat
(I don't have a driver's license)

But baby you should know
That even though I poorly show it

I love you

We don't need drugs, we're together
Stay in if there's cold weather
You look so good in leather
Not that we're addicts
(You know we barely tried it)

But baby you should know
That even though I poorly show it
I love you

Now we go dancing on the meadows of gold
(Meadows of gold)

I wanna play with in days of old
(Days of old)
