Overdose
Wolfgang Gartner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart beat silence sounds, the music's loud in the air
And I can't find a way around because of what you've been giving me
And I've tried every drug I've found but there's nothing like the one
You've been giving me, giving me, giving me
I know I might be crazy
Yes I know the shade is fading
But I would rather close the lights and get high on you
Yes I know the shade is fading
But I would rather close the lights, getting high on you
I just wanna OD on you
I just wanna OD on you,
Baby can I OD on you
I just wanna OD on you
I feel like going down then baby you come near
I feel like I could drown because your loving ain't here
Now I can't find a way around because of what you've been giving me
And I've tried every drug I've found but there's nothing like the one
You've been giving me, giving me, giving me
I know I might be crazy
But I would rather close the light and get high on you
Yes I know the shade is fading
But I would rather close the lights, getting high on you
I just wanna OD on you
I just wanna OD on you,
Baby can I OD on you
I just wanna OD on you
I know I might be crazy
Yes I know the shade is fading
I know I might be crazy
But I would rather close the light and get high on you
Yes I know the shade is fading
But I would rather close the lights, getting high on you
I just wanna OD on you
I just wanna OD on you,
Baby can I OD on you
I just wanna OD on you
I just wanna
