The Internet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can read your mind even from behind
And fuck what's in your phone, lemme take you home
I wanna take you home
'Cause it's so rare that I'm here, don't plan on stayin' too long
So you should come here and sit your ass on this throne
This a special affair, better act like you know who I amWho I am
I bet this Patron
Make you feel nice and comfortable
Tryna act nice, girl, your cover's blown
But you already knew that
You already knew that
You already knew that
And we can burn one
We can burn one
Playin' in the dark, I might break your heart
I can get you high if you wanna climb
'Cause fuck leavin' alone
Let me take you home, I wanna take you home
'Cause it's so rare that I'm here, don't plan on stayin' too long
So you should come here, sit your ass on this throne
This a special affair, better act like you know who I am
Who I am
I bet this Patron
Make you feel nice and comfortable
Tryna act nice, girl, your cover's blown
But you already knew that
You already knew that
I bet this Patron
Make you feel nice and comfortable
Tryna act nice, girl, your cover's blown
But you already knew that (knew that)
You already knew that (knew that)
You already knew that
And we can burn one
We can burn one
I bet this Patron
I bet this Patron
