Down Down
The Jukes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything you thought you had,
Has gone to waste.
Troubled circles in your head,
Are out of place.

Bottled up tight but you can't steal it,
The race is on but you're caught out sleeping.

Bring me down
Bring me down

I'm burning out
Burning out

Always asking for more space,
Your into the ground.
You've been gone for days and days,
Why can't we turn it around.

Bottled up tight but you can't steal it,
The race is on but you're caught out sleeping.

Bring me down
Bring me down

I'm burnin out
I'm burnin out
I'm burnin out

(Think on it)
Take A step,
(Over it.)

Never wonder why,
It was supposed to be,
A compramise.

We could break,
(on it)
Take a step,
(over it)
We'll take it slow,
(you you)
You're not alone.
Yeah Yeaahhh

Bring me down
Bring me down

I'm burnin out
I'm burnin out
I'm burnin out

You've got to learn how,
You've got to run now,
You've got to learn how.

You've got to learn how,

You've got to run now,
You've got to learn how.
