Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Know I don't need it
But I, just can't unseen it
cnd I try to wait till morning to come down
But the high is just too much right now

Feel it all over me (cnd I don't wanna leave)
Raining down like therapy

cnd I don't wanna leave

(cnd I don't wanna leave)
(cnd I don't wanna leave)
(cnd I don't wanna leave)
(cnd I don't wanna leave)

You know there's something about it
cnd I can't deny
cnd I, now that's it's morning right now
But the high is just too much to come down

Feel it all over me (cnd I don't wanna leave)
Raining down like therapy

cnd I don't wanna leave

(cnd I don't wanna leave)
(cnd I don't wanna leave)

(cnd I don't wanna leave)
(cnd I don't wanna leave)
