It's On Me
Show Me the Skyline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She speaks a tongue i don't understand
Likes me and what im all about.
I don't know what i'm gettin my self into
But i know for sure that i dont want out.

I watch the clock and i wait for her
Watch her move as if she's a blur
Can't wait just to figure it out
I know for sure that i never want out

That mouth
And those lips
No boy
Can resist
These street signs
Ring no bells
I'm not in love but,
I've already fell

Girl, I'm new to this town
But let's not stand around
Because tonight, oh tonight
It's on me
So I'll sing, & you'll move
We've got nothing left to lose
Cause tonight, oh tonight
It's on me.

She Makes me sweat without sayin' a word
My heart stops & my speech gets slurred
I wanna know what she's all about
I'm gettin in and I don't want out.

That mouth
And those lips
No boy

Can resist
These street signs
Ring no bells
I'm not in love but,
Ah, what the hell

Girl I'm new to this town
So let's not stand around
Cause tonight, oh tonight
It's on me

So I'll swing and you'll move
We've got so much to lose
But tonight oh tonight
It's on me

Girl, come rain
Or come shine
Oh i will, make you mine
So come one, or come all
Cause i'm ready to fall
Oh tonight, is the night
So lets just, hit the lights

Girl I'm new to this town
So let's not stand around
Cause tonight oh tonight
It's on me

So I'll swing and you'll move
We've got so much to lose




Cause tonight oh tonight
It's on me.
