The Very Next Fight
Sparks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The very next fight
I have over you
Will end up the same
It's always the same

The very next fight
From out of the blue (it's always the same)
Will end up the same
It's always the same (it's always the same)

Some idiot staring at your legs, I know
You quietly tell me I should let it go
But how can I let it go
When I can't control myself
How can I let it go
When I can not help myself

The very next fight
I have over you
Will end up the same
It's always the same

The very next fight
From out of the blue (it's always the same)
Will end up the same
It's always the same (it's always the same)

Blood on the floor of some posh restaurant
Deep down I'm sure this is what you want
And what you want, is what I want.
What you want is what I want.

Open displays of affection

The very next fight
From out of the blue (it's always the same)
Will end up the same
It's always the same (it's always the same)

Some idiot staring at your legs, I know
You quietly tell me I should let it go
But how can I let it go
When I can't control myself
How can I let it go
When I can not him myself

The very next fight
I have over you
Will end up the same
It's always the same

The very next fight (it's always the same)
From out of the blue (it's always the same)




Will end up the same (it's always the same)
It's always the same (it's always the same)
