Are We The Waiting
Stark Sanda Joshua Henry & Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So baby are we concrete cause I gotta know
You're all I think about when I'm snorting the snow
And yeah I got some habits that no one gotta know
I just wanna run away and never go home
Pop two pills on the interstate
Old habits, that I'm never gonna break
Ripped jeans, and red hair dye
I saw you in the club and I had to make you mine
So baby are we concrete cause I gotta know
You're all I think about when I'm snorting the snow
And yeah I got some habits that no one gotta know
I just wanna run away and never go home
But don't hate me
Everyone hates me
They only see what they wanted to see
And I don't know what the fuck they wanted from me
I only want you
I want them to bleed
So baby are we concrete cause I gotta know
You're all I think about when I'm snorting the snow
And yeah I got some habits that no one gotta know
I just wanna run away and never go home
I'm never going home I think I said this before
Yeah, three am I'm fucked up knocking at your door
I can't get you out my head I need you to know
You're always on my mind when I be snorting this blow
Shawty wanna ride but I just wanna die slow
Yeah I know I'm bad for you so I'm gonna go
Yeah I know the story cause I've seen this before
We won't like the ending when we walk out the door
Now I'm here with you I said that I love you so
Never wanna leave this moment please hold me close
Feeling every breath and I be breaking my bones
Never wanna leave this place but we gotta go
So baby are we concrete cause I gotta know
You're all I think about when I'm snorting the snow




And yeah I got some habits that no one gotta know
I just wanna run away and never go home
