May I
Zooanzoo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looks like some life painted you with a knife, "EENTZ!"
You need some helps love?
I'll bandage you, I misses you, so listen when I'm talking... please?
Be it the capillary squeeze and I'm falling apart, be it the Bugatti daydreams that I never had
Be it the squishy baby love that gets you maaad
I'm talking fantasy is screaming at the top of your lungs
I'm talking Zooanzoo wants to beat on the drum
I'm talking Zooanzoo wants to treat you some, I'm playing lo-fi tunes at the tip of the tongue

Baby watch me navigate this sh*t until you're done, say what?
What? Say what? What?! Say! Baby say my name and let me treat you some

Tune everybody out...
You oughta make it my dream and it comes true
Tune everybody out...

Say, what's your pronouns and repeat after me...
May I... touch your... put my... kiss?
Say what do you like?
Yeah, and are you into this?

And how are you feeling?
Yes, that's okay
