Out
Sodastream Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a battered hand
I wrote it on my list
Didn't know what your feeling was
But it must be better than this

Don't go out
And don't give in
My head is in this country now and

Tells me I can win

So pretty baby
Show me how
These wicked ladies
Are starting to shout
With your head upon my pillow
I wish that it could be, so cold
And despite your bleaker warnings
I wanted to believe

I wrote it in the sand
A single parting gift
Didn't know what redemption was but it
Can't be worse than this

So don't go out
And don't give in
My head is in this country now and
Tells me I can win

So pretty baby
Show me how
These wicked ladies
Are starting to shout
With your head upon my pillow
I wish that it could be, so cold

And despite your blue eyed warnings
I wanted to believe
