CRÈME
laundry day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, yeah

Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Look at how we changed in a year
It's not only black and white
Colors coming to me every night
I remember when I used to stay away, stay away
Now it's only brighter days, brighter days
And I'ma crash land in the Bimmer
Hopefully you could see me
Hopefully you could catch me when I'm walkin' down the street, ah

Who cares if all the kids just wanna get high
To get by?
Why they snort up every line that they televise?
Can't deny CNN got the city wired
SNL gotta hit my line
PAF got my money wider
I'ma be like 27 when I press retire
Fine, I guess I have 120 months
Before I Amy Wine'
Before I nevermind, nevermind

I got my head in the clouds, you wanna see me come down
Way to much space all around, I should be running around
I got my head in the clouds, you wanna see me come down
Still tryna figure me out, still tryna figure me out

Glitter on my eyelids got my vision blurry
7:45 you can catch me in a hurry
Fluorescent lights on my bright skin
You should see me on a stage when the lights dim
I got a sea full of people with they hands up
They would give like 50 just to see my dance moves
Alligator from the swamp, that's where he belongs
I can do no wrong, I'ma make a lot money
Warn the village, ring the gong
And I'm gone, and I'm gone
Wearing tuxes like I would be at the prom

Tuck my shirt in like my posture's like it's not
Hunched over like I vomit on my phone
I'll be limpin' my way over to the floor
She's askin' for more, so I'll give her more
Feel like Cody Banks mixed in with cold champagne
I'm looser than an apple that falls too far from the tree, you see?

Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, yeah

Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, simmer down, yeah
Simmer down, yeah

Simmer down, simmer down (Simmer down)
Simmer down, simmer down (Simmer down)




Simmer down, simmer down (Simmer down)
Simmer down (Simmer down)

Dear youtube readers and LAUNDRY DAY, 
Im so obsessed with them I had a dream last night I joined the band :(.. It's probably because I haven't stopped listening to them since light up shoes 2 came out. But I seriously need to chill because I have looked up tickets to go see them, but because I'm in the middle of freak no where it's even more so expense to see them, so I'll keep lady dreaming about shaving my hair and becoming their musical director.
Sincerely, a broke college student, going through mental breakdown 12 of the day. 
Have a wonderful day.
