Rosa
WIINSTON Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don′t sleep at night cause
Pictures in my old camera
Saucin', I′m saucin', I'm drinkin′
Stopped thinkin′ bout you
Grab on your things and move on
Grab on your things and move on

Threatened to go but I
Didn't try to stop you
(You′re overreacting, overreacting)

Missing you, missing you
We gon' sleep forever now
Missing you, missing you a lot
I wanna sleep forever now

You would have liked dancing love
Dancing, yo-oh-oh
Arrive in a fancy Mercedes
The rocket I′m Tracy McGrady
Lying on the bathroom floor
Never trust nobody now

I won't show my face
I can′t show my face
(I can't show my...)

Missing you, missing you
We gon' sleep forever now
Missing you, missing you a lot
I wanna sleep forever now

I′m fading but I hear you calling
Waiting for redemption, maybe it can wait
My ties to the open-hearted
Washed up alongside California bay





Waiting for redemption, maybe it can wait
Washed up alongside California bay

Pictures in my old camera
Memories come to me in vivid detail


Saucin’, I’m saucin’, I’m drinkin’

Stopped thinkin’ bout you
I’m trying to move on


Grab on your things and move on
You need to escape this situation and start fresh


Threatened to go but I, didn’t try to stop you, (You’re overreacting, overreacting)

Lying on the bathroom floor, Never trust nobody now
I feel alone and vulnerable


I won’t show my face, I can’t show my face, (I can’t show my…)
I’m too ashamed to face the world
