Love Did It
friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no reason to push the break,
This ride has no another take
I would grab your hand and hit the road
And be as true as possible
If only we could stay the same
Constant atomic fission drive us up
I have that insane feeling
That love won't make it easier
I am enjoying events as they come
I got the landscape at my door
Sometimes it seems to be a little bit
Artificial
I fear that my heart will swing
I have that insane feeling
That love won't make it easier
There is no another ride, nor another set
Constant atomic fission drives us up
Just wanted to grab your hand and hit the road
But it's too simple
