Rescue me
You Me at Six Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm finding it hard to breathe
And I've been drowning in my own sleep
I feel a hate crashing over me
So rescue me
(Ohh ohh ohh ohhhhhh)
So rescue me
Everybody need to drive
Before we break out like hives
Gotta learn to put this shit we call
Pride to the side
I ain't no player without you I'm not OJ
Viva la Vida
Now she wanna give me Coldplay
Ahh, once you find you can't keep it
You broke my heart into million tiny little pieces
And now it's purge on you
Never put hurt on you
Talkin' to your girlfriends
Tryna find dirt on you
Damn, Is this what we have come to?
When he was cheating
I was the person you run to.
Guess it's for another time
This is what I've come to find
Should've seen this coming but
Stevie Wonder
Love is blind
I know
I'm finding it hard to breathe
And I've been drowning in my own sleep
I feel a hate crashing over me
So rescue me
(Ohh ohh ohh ohhhhhhhhh)
So rescue me
She used to be the person of my dreams
And now she's just a demon of my nightmares
I know this shit ain't what it seems
Hey, hey you ain't leaving, I'll be right here
Shorty just rescue me
I know you especially
The way I always felt with you
Thinking that true telepathy
Like the age and their games
We used to be blinding
Who would have thought that when you left
The right would become the wrong thing
I know
I'm finding it hard to breathe
And I've been drowning in my own sleep
I feel a hate crashing over me
So rescue me
So rescue me
And I've been drowning in my own sleep
And I feel a hate crashing over me
So rescue me
(Ohh ohh ohh)
So rescue me
So rescue me

This is my realization
Should've seen this coming but
I should have anticipated this, but
Stevie Wonder
Blindness, metaphorically
Love is blind
Love does not see the faults in the other person
She used to be the person of my dreams
She used to be my ideal girl
And now she's just a demon of my nightmares
She is now the subject of my bad dreams
I know this shit ain't what it seems
I know that this situation is not as it appears
Hey, hey you ain't leaving, I'll be right here
Hey, don't go, I'll remain here
Shorty just rescue me
Babe, save me
I know you especially
I know you will understand me
The way I always felt with you
The ease with which I was able to be myself around you
Thinking that true telepathy
Believing in the possibility of being able to communicate using only thoughts
Like the age and their games
Like children and their games
We used to be blinding
We used to be blindly in love
Who would have thought that when you left
Who would have thought that our breakup
The right would become the wrong thing
The right decision would become the wrong one
