Make Up
j.hjort Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Truth is not a thing you recall
Making truth is all I desire
Seen enough to know I've seen too much

Words can't save us
Sometimes you got to kiss and make up
We argue
But it won't break us
Put some make-up, babies
Just so you can kiss and make up
It's safe for everybody
It's safe for everybody, everybody
I wanna kiss and make up
Go on, kiss and make up

Put some make-up, babies
Just so you can kiss and make up
It's safe for everybody
It's safe for everybody
That's how you really know it's love

Loving you it ain't easy, you see
Love is something you got to be
Nobody else should come between us
That's just between you and me

Words can't save us
Sometimes you got to kiss and make up
We argue
But it won't break us
Put some make-up, babies
Just so you can kiss and make up
It's safe for everybody
It's safe for everybody, everybody
I wanna kiss and make up
Go on, kiss and make up

It's safe for everybody
It's safe for everybody
That's how you really know it's love

I've been waiting for a while
And then you came into my life
And gave me a new love, a new love
A love that I need, a love that I need
Even when things are not easy

It's not like we will separate
'Cause what we have is given by fate
It's unbreakable, so unshakeable

And it can't be another way
It's safe for everybody
It's safe for everybody, everybody
Go on, kiss and make up
You know you just can't fake love
Come on, kiss and make up

And it can't be another way
It's safe for everybody




It's safe for everybody, everybody
That's how you know it's really love
