Wild Party Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just why I'm only here to claim,
I've got to make you famous,
you're the starring role inside my mind nicole,
if I could only find your purpose, I could take control,
I'm sure we belong somewhere, not sure if we'll share,
moments, months, or lives I'd like you by my side,
enjoy your conversation, abbreviations,
who knew I'd miss the pleasure, heal me from myself,
who knew I'd know too much, whats pressure to my health
I'm coughing cause I'm anxious, Anxious cause I know my,
future's inching close and where am I to go I just don't know,
someday, you'll know my styles lame,
when i can't provide champagne, will you still say hello,
someday, you'll change, it doesn't matter anyway,
locked up and say im framed, will you still say hello,
life's too short to survive, too short for goodbyes,
take direction toward concerns, I'll be patient in return
who knew I'd miss the pleasure, heal me from myself,

locked up and say im framed, will you come say hello,
someday, someday, someday
