Say
deb never Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Iced out, heart soda pop
You talk royal like you're Tenenbaum
You say been working since eleventh grade
New fame, you wanna be a star

Like Rick Riccardo, on TV like Rocko
Drippin' with bravado, private to Milano
Runway supermodel, quiet on the walk home
I just hope you say what you need to say
I just hope you say what you wanna say
I just hope you say what you need to say
1990 Chardeaux, know you keep shit bottled
I just hope you say what you need to say

Late nights (late nights we), summer 9th of July we talked
Blurred lines, the birds and bees, all of the above
So drop your cool for just a little
Show me who you are, bet you wanna be a star

Like Rick Riccardo, on TV like Rocko
Drippin' with bravado, private to Milano
Runway supermodel, quiet on the walk home
I just hope you say what you need to say
I just hope you say what you wanna say
I just hope you say what you need to say
1990 Chardeaux, know you keep shit bottled
I just hope you say what you need to say

And if there's something going on
Would you tell me about your days
I'll be waiting for your call (call me when you want, call me when you want)
I'm just a dial-up away (call me when you want, call me when you want)

I just hope you say what you wanna say
I just hope you say what you need to say




1990 Chardeaux, know you keep shit bottled
I just hope you say what you need to say

That phone ringing tone was fire! Can't say why but that half second of the song definitely gave me a dopamine hit, absolutely top-notch production as always.

I'm listening to 5 o'clock right now and these pixies-esque guitar wails are fucking fantastic, might have to go for a night drive just to hear the new tracks in the car with a subwoofer.
