What Are Your Coordinates
Snailhouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can walk into a room
And shut up all the conversation.

What are your coordinates?
I'll meet you halfway.

Don't complain.
There's really no other way.

By the time
You get to the door, i'll be done.
And you can tell me everything.

I haven't faked the pleasure
Of a half smile.

Don't complain.
There's really no other way.

The easiest way to be left alone is to {wait?}





And you can tell me everything.
