Bad News
Wrestlerish Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll keep this in the dark
Ignoring every spark
We'll be hanging around
Just hanging around

We'll keep this from ourselves
Ignoring better health
We'll be hanging around

Just hanging around

'Cause baby, you're bad news
I don't trust myself with you
With you
You're bad news
I don't trust myself with you
With you

We're better lost than found
Ignoring better sounds
We'll be hanging around
Just hanging around

I'll keep this from ourselves
Ignoring better health
I'll be hanging around
Just hanging around

'Cause baby, you're bad news
And I don't trust myself with you
With you
You're bad news
I don't trust myself with you
With you

This is more than I have found
And I can't last another round

You're bad news
I don't trust myself with you
With you
You're bad news
I don't trust myself with you
With you

Baby, you're bad news
I don't trust myself with you
With you
Baby, you're bad news

I don't trust myself with you
With you
