Everybody Knows
The Creases Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was feeling let down, my head was in the clouds,
Didn't know how much the feeling would've cost, she didn't come down,
It's harder to be around,
I was feeling under the gun, in a moment i was gone

Every body knows
I wanna know what it feels like
Every body knows

I was feeling in doubt, my friends are all spinnin' round,
You catch us looking up mentions, just wonder why then it us,
Didn't know how far i could've gone,
Tried to yell out by i was already sinking through the floors

Every body knows
I wanna know what it feels like
Every body knows
I wanna know what it feels like
Every body knows
I wanna know what it feels like
Every body knows
I wanna know

Alright, i'm getting outta the way now
I'm getting outta this place
I don't know why it matters
I'm getting outta this place tonight

So tell me what it feels like

Everybody knows
I wanna know what it feels like
Every body knows
I wanna know what it feels like
Every body knows
I wanna know what it feels like
Every body knows




I wanna know i wanna see (Everybody knows)
So tell me what it feels like (Everybody knows)
