Shut It Down
Yeti Tactics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm only gonna break your heart
You don't want nothing to do with this party
The longer you're with me, the more you'll be sorry
You tell your friends you're going out
They stop to tell you what they think I'm all about
You say it's casual and you don't have no doubt
Feels like you're walking through a dream
Smoke fills the air, and you see what I mean
Take another shot...
I see it in your eyes, these vocals got you hoping you can stay here by my side
Oh, time is moving slow
I think you should know
We can only end in fire...
We gotta.
Shut it down, before it starts
I'm only gonna break your heart
You don't want nothing to do with this party
The longer you're with me, the more you'll be sorry
You never know, you never know
Where this will go, only time will show
The rhythm of this audio
Is coming from my Scorpio
Soon the night turns into day
Power up this bass drum it will make your body sway
Underneath the surface, you know that you shouldn't stay
Emotions in the air, you don't need them anyway
Oh, time is moving slow
I think you should know
We can only end in fire...
We gotta.
Shut it down, before it starts
I'm only gonna break your heart
You don't want nothing to do with this party
The longer you're with me, the more you'll be sorry
Shut it down, before it starts
I'm only gonna break your heart
You don't want nothing to do with this party
The longer you're with me, the more you'll be sorry
