Upstate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I gotta let you know
And if you don't know that I care so
I might never let this go
Yeah, I'm attracted to your eyes
Shades of blue and of green and of gold
And in your glance is there a chance
You'll let me in just let me know
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you'll be fine
Finally the rain is comin' down
Upon the desert of my life
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you'll be fine
Finally the sun is shinin' bright
We can shake away the strife
I'm attracted to your compassion
And I wanna let you in
And when your empathy runs wild
I yearn to dance with ya dome to chin
Yea, I'm attracted to your hands
They're callused up from your genius flow
Don't ever think of letting go
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you'll be fine
Finally the rain is comin' down
Upon the desert of my life
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you'll be fine
Finally the sun is shinin' bright
We can shake away the strife
Well, I'm attracted to you
And I've run straight out of words
And if you do not know by now
Open up your ears and listen to the birds
Don't get me started on that smile
I hope that gap never ever closes
And with those crows feet, you'll never lose me
You give me a buzz from my head to my toeses
So, So, So take a.
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you'll be fine
Finally the rain is comin' down
Upon the desert of my life
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you'll be fine
Finally the sun is shinin' bright
We can shake away the strife
(Shake) Shake away
(Shake) Shake away
Shake away the strife
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you'll be fine
Finally the rain is comin' down
Upon the desert of my life
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you'll be fine
Finally the sun is shinin' bright
We can shake away
