Tennis Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just need something I can see
Oh, oh, oh, where are you running, babe?
Close my eyes, I'll see you in my dreams
So meet me by that neon light
Tell me everything's alright
'Cause I need to believe in something
Close my eyes, I'm tryna picture you
Just like you want me to
Before the day breaks
Stay with me, I'm all alone with you
Just for a moment or two
Before I'm awake
Oh, oh, oh, I'm scared of morning
I just need something I can be
Oh, oh, oh, I'm talking to myself now, babe
Close my eyes, we'll talk in my dreams
So meet me by that neon light
Tell me everything's alright
'Cause I need to believe in something
Even if it's a lie
Close my eyes, I'm tryna picture you
Just like you want me to
Before the day breaks
Stay with me, I'm all alone with you
Just for a moment or two
Before I'm awake
Even if it takes some time
I know that I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Even if it's only true, just when I close my eyes
Even if it takes some time
I know that I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Even if it's only true, just when I close my eyes
Close my eyes, I'm tryna picture you
Just like you want me to
Before the day breaks
Stay with me, I'm all alone with you
Just for a moment or two
Before I'm awake
