Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You fall like a boat
You shake like a leaf
Baby, just get me snow
Get me snow
You move like a snake
You cut like a roll
You speak like a cat
Don't let go
Let go
Come on now, just let go, go, go
Hey now, here we go
Why, he, that's like whoa
Hey, now, feel it in my soul
Hey, now, that's like whoa, oh, yeah
Whoa, oh, yeah
That's like whoa, oh, yeah
Whoa, oh, yeah
You break what you got
You rot like a ghost
You're the devil that I know
That I know
You shout like a [?]
You dance like a crate
Baby, just don't let go
Don't let go
Let go
Come on now, just let go, go, go
Hey now, here we go
Why, he, that's like whoa
Hey, now, feel it in my soul
Hey, now, that's like whoa, oh, yeah
Whoa, oh, yeah
That's like whoa, oh, yeah
Whoa, oh, yeah
Every whisper, every breath
So close that I can taste
All our hearts they beat so loud
The walls begin to shake
Hey now, here we go
Why, he, that's like whoa
Hey, now, feel it in my soul
Hey, now, that's like whoa, oh, yeah
Whoa, oh, yeah
That's like whoa, oh, yeah
Whoa, oh, yeah
