Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am tierd of this place
I hope people change
I need time to replace what I gave way
and my hopes they are high
I must keep them small
though I try to resist
I still want it all
I see swimming pools
and living rooms
and airoplanes
I see a little house on the hill
and childrens names
I see quiet nights
poured over rice
and taker-rake
but everything is shattering
and its my mistake
only fools fall for you
only fools
only fools do what I do
only fools fall
only fools fall for you
only fools
only fools do what I do
only fools fall
Oh, our lives don't collide
I'm aware of this
The differences and impulses
and your obsession with
The little things
you like stick, and I like aerosol
I don't give a fuck
I'm not giving up
I still want it all
Only fools fall for you
Only fools
Only fools do what I do
Only fools fall
Only fools fall for you
Only fools
Only fools do what I do
Only fools fall
I see swimming pools
and living rooms and airplanes
I see a little house on the hill
and children's names
I see quiet nights
poured over rice
and taker-rake




But everything is shattering
and it's my mistake

Lyrics 🥰:

[Verse 1]
You are the light, I've been searchin' for forever
Feels like, man, I've really never felt the rain
Buried in the desert, didn't think I'd push through the dirt
You just cleansed me like a waterfall, you came

[Chorus]
I'm screamin' like a kettle on a stove
You cranked the heat up, I was cold
My past grew mold around my heart
And all my anger, sadness, regret, disappeared, it's madness
I'm not used to all this watеr love, it's true
But you make mе want to
Plan out my last days on earth, eating you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The tips of your teeth fit perfect in me
You're a shower of light I'd devour any day of the week
Baby, cleanse me

Verse 2]
I was surprised to see heaven in your eyes
I never once was treated right, you're what I'm missing in my life
As bright as the sun, give me your vitamin D
Let's run into another dimension
You make me feel like I'm on drugs

[Chorus]
I'm screamin' like a kettle on a stove
You crank the heat up, I was cold
My past grew mold around my heart
And all my anger, sadness, regret disappeared, it's madness
I'm not used to all this water love, it's true
But you make me want to
Plan out my last days on earth, eating you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The tips of your teeth fit perfect in me
You're a shower of light I'd devour any day of the week
Baby, cleanse me

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
But you made me want to
Plan out my last days on earth, eating you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The tips of your teeth fit perfect in me
You're a shower of light I devour any day of the week
Baby, cleanse me

Lyrics: Light Shower (my fav song rn)

You are the light I've been searchin' for forever
Feels like, man, I've really never felt the rain
Buried in the desert, didn't think I'd push through the dirt
You just cleansed me like a waterfall, you came
I'm screamin' like a kettle on a stove
You cranked the heat up, I was cold
My past grew mold around my heart
And all my anger, sadness, regret disappeared
It's madness, I'm not used to all this water, love, it's true
But you made me want to
Plan out my last days on earth, eating you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The tips of your teeth fit perfect in me
You're a shower of light I'd devour any day of the week
Baby, cleanse me
I was surprised to see heaven in your eyes
I never once was treated right, you're what I'm missing in my life
As bright as the sun, give me your vitamin D
Let's run into another dimension
You make me feel like I'm on drugs
I'm screamin' like a kettle on a stove
You crank the heat up, I was cold
My past grew mold around my heart
And all my anger, sadness, regret disappeared
It's madness, I'm not used to all this water, love, it's true
But you made me want to
Plan out my last days on earth, eating you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The tips of your teeth fit perfect in me
You're a shower of light I'd devour any day of the week
Baby, cleanse me
But you made me want to

This song is like never being treated right in a relationship and then someone comes and treats you like you’ve never been treated before, make you feel special, wanted, loved, and appreciated
