Y-Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At me and I went numb
And I had to push reset 'cause my brain
Switch was stuck on dumb
Lucky for me you did not run
I look away then peek again
Don’t have a clue, don't have a plan
No one is standing in vicinity
I start to think there is a chance
She's giving more than a passing glance
You’ll mess it up, you always do
No one ever likes the real you
Then she said she thinks I'm
Cute and I am fun
So I had to push reset 'cause my
Brain switched from dumb to numb
Lucky for me she didn't run
I start to feel some confidence
A minute later we were holding hands
Don't have have the words, I'm full of doubt
Sooner or later they will kick us out
Where do we go, another spot
We better leave before we get caught
Times up, we're headed out
I'm getting ready for the let down
Then she said if you want
Me you must move slow
But I’m willing to accept there’s something
Here that could be love
Lucky for me she didn't run
I bet she wishes she did
You know I went and put a ring on it
Tiffany’s got that paycheck
I guess my game is strong
I'm just a sucker for a smart girl with
A big fat brain in her skull
She made a hard man soft
I used to rock it till the wheels fell off
Now I'm hanging out in the slow lane
But don't feel sorry for me
My heart heart is fuller than the
Tallest tree in the park
That gives the world it's shade
