Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If by now you can't tell that she's living in hell
And her head feels like it's getting high
And stuck inside of paradise but why
Move with this flow to keep her body warm
Move with this flow to keep her body warm
If by now you can't tell me how you really feel
If by now you can't tell that she's living in hell
And stuck inside of paradise but why
Move with this flow to keep her body warm
Move with this flow to keep her body warm
She spent a few
(If by now you can't tell it's been hell)
Move with this flow to keep her body warm
Trapped in a fool's paradise
