Downlow
Tomorrows Bad Seeds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

it only took a minute or two just to get her to see my point of view
now everything’s beautiful
when you want the same things that I do
so come and get down with me you know you want it your sister’s told stories
still everything’s beautiful
tell no one else keep it to yourself

Tell no one else
No one else keep it to your self
Keep it to your self; keep it to yourself
Tell no one else
No one else keep it to yourself
Keep it keep it keep it to yourself

After we got out of bed I turned my head said what did we just do
your sister’s so beautiful I’m down for you but what am I supposed to do
I’m feeling guilty and I can’t seem to take my hands off you
you think this will ever change you think this will ever change
tell me not to worry tell me don’t be afraid
I wasn’t planning to get caught up in this type of charade
the bed is made and now there’s no turning back
if you can keep this to your self we wont get caught in the sack no.....

Tell no one else
No one else keep it to yourself
Keep it to your self; keep it to yourself
Tell no one else
No one else keep it to yourself




Keep it keep it keep it to yourself
