Could Be Fun
banana club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you not read through toxicity?
I wanna hold you tight, but the guilt is on
I can't see what you're envisioning
But I'm starting to feel a different side of me
Using all my strength now not to run
But finding out what you're talking about could be fun
Went all in deny, did I fuck it up?
He keeps calling, and I keep hanging up
Trying to play it cool, but the jig is up
'Cause finding out what you're talking about could be fun
Finding out what you're talking about could be fun
Been running from you since I was 17
Could've probably used the extra therapy
But now you're here and I don't wanna give it up
Glueing my feet down, putting hands in cuffs
My hearts racing now
Suck in fear and doubt
Trying to catch myself
Trying to catch myself
Went all in deny, did I fuck it up?
He keeps calling, and I keep hanging up
Trying to play it cool, but the jig is up
'Cause finding out what you're talking about could be fun
And maybe I'm more than just a bit of fun
