BUBBLE
The Elwins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so exciting and so inviting
To hear you say my name
No sweeter sound in the Earth around
Said by you would be the same
You turn to me, and without words
I hear you say, "Ditto."
But your arm is linked to something
And you just won't let it go

You fill me up
I fly away
You get me high
I feel the raise
I know I'll pop
I know I'll fall
But, in this flash
I've got it all

You get me high like a bubble
You get me high like a bubble
I know I'm asking for trouble
When I'm high like a bubble

Let's make a plan, go to Japan
Good morning, ohayō
My bag's packed and the seal's cracked
But you gotta let me know
You turn to me, and without words
I hear you say, "I don't know."
Your arm is linked to something
And you just won't let it go

You get me high like a bubble

I can be anything you need
Everything I gotta be
And I don't see what you see in them
And you don't see that in me
Yeah, I can be anything you need
Everything I gotta be
I just don't get it
No, I just don't get it

You get me high like a bubble

I'm high like a bubble
You get me high like a bubble
I know I'm asking for trouble
When I'm high like a bubble





You get me high like a bubble
