Semper Fi
Us-2 Evil-0 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your hands behind the wheel
Knowing
That it's your voice that's keeping me still
Got my regrets
But gotta move on, honey
Never look back and never look down
But gotta move on, honey
Never look back and never look down
Semper fi
But you're the one who turned
'Cause I've been giving it back, giving it back
Too much
Giving it back, giving it back
Let me hold you
Under the bali sun
Let me hold you
And never let go
Let me hold you
Under the bali sun
Let me hold you
And never let go
Get that restraining order ready girl
'Cause I'm never gonna let you go
Rebound
But who could ever replace you girl
Dying
Everytime I see your curls
Got my regrets
But gotta move on, honey
Never look back and never look down (oh no)
Got my regrets
But gotta move on, honey
Never look back and never look down (oh no)
Semper fi
But you're the one who turned
'Cause I've been giving it back, giving it back
Too much
Giving it back, giving it back
Let me hold you
Under the bali sun
Let me hold you
And never let go
Let me hold you
Under the bali sun
Let me hold you
And never let go
And we can keep on goin'
Don't know where to stop
Looking forward
We'll be close enough
Just stick by me
'Cause I got you, boy
And never let go
Let me hold you
Under the Bali sun
Let me hold you
And never let go
Get that restraining order ready girl
'Cause I'm never gonna let you go
