Glow
Tom Tripp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lost your heart, you can't wake up
Too late to try, your minds made up
Your minds made up

She said, "You're mine, you can't break free
We made a deal you belong to me
Belong to me"
But I choose
To break away from you
'Cause if I don't I'll never leave
But that's where you want me to be
And I choose
Today to run away
And find a place that I'll be safe
I'll rather die than go insane

You leave me red and blue like a cop car
You want me back in your arms again I know
My heart in your palms again 'til it's broke
Oh

You leave me red and blue like a cop car
Put my hand on my heart I swear I'm goin'
Ride in the dark and now I'm glowin'

You make it dark so I can't see
Too late to fight your plan for me
So I can't leave

I let down my guard again
Fire, it sparks again
Felt like a drug when you told me you loved me
Just wanna start the pain

But I choose
To break away from you
'Cause if I don't I'll never leave
But that's where you want me to be
And I choose
Today to run away
And find a place that I'll be safe
I'll rather die than go insane

You leave me red and blue like a cop car
You want me back in your arms again I know
My heart in your palms again 'til it's broke
Oh

You leave me red and blue like a cop car
Put my hand on my heart I swear I'm goin'
Ride in the dark and now I'm glowin'

Oooh, ooh

And I choose
Today to run away
And find a place that I'll be safe
I'll rather die than go insane

I can't see you with the green light anymore
I can't see you with the green light anymore
It won't work, you can't keep tricking me
So run along, you don't mean shit to me
I can't live with the same damn envy
You know I put you in the button down Fendi
No more runnin' on, runnin' on empty
I'm gassed upped ya, I'm fuckin' gassed upped ya

You leave me red and blue like a cop car
You want me back in your arms again I know
My heart in your palms again 'til it's broke
Oh

You leave me red and blue like a cop car
Put my hand on my heart I swear I'm goin'
Ride in the dark and now I'm glowin'

(Blue like a cop car)
(Just pop like a pop star)




(Pop star)
(Aww)

We made a deal, you belong to me"
Belong to me

[Pre-Chorus]
But I choose to break away from you
