back to life
Sjur Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Impatient
You know me so well and I can be kinda impatient
And lately
Yeah, I've been working so hard, think I need a vacation, mm

Tell me, what's the situation? I need some elevation, I need a celebration
I don't have no expectation, I need some good vibration, I need a celebration

Gotta know that you're my ride or die
Gotta know you're always by my side
Gotta know that you're my ride or die
I can touch the sky, you got me so high
When I'm down you bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

Helpless
Whenever you come around me it feels like I'm helpless
Selfish
If I keep you to myself, I can't help but I'm selfish, mm

Tell me, what's the situation? I need some elevation, I need a celebration
I don't have no expectation, I need some good vibration, I need a celebration

Gotta know that you're my ride or die
Gotta know you're always by my side
I can touch the sky, you got me so high
When I'm down you bring me back to life
Bring me back to life, you're my ride or die
'Gotta know you're always by my side
I can touch the sky, you got me so high
When I'm down you bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

You can be my sidekick
Read my mind, you're psychic
24/7 I'm living, yeah, I like it
You can be my weekend
Sunday's we can sleep in
Diving right in
We can swim in the deep end
Ooh, you're such a home run
Can I take you home then?
Ooh, this party's no fun
Why don't we just go then?

Gotta know that you're my ride or die
Gotta know you're always by my side
I can touch the sky, you got me so high
When I'm down you bring me back to life
Bring me back to life, you're my ride or die (this situation)
'Gotta know you're always by my side (need some elevation)
I can touch the sky, you got me so high (this situation)

When I'm down you bring me back to life (need some elevation)
Bring me back to life (you're my ride or die, yeah)
