Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just need to know
You know that we've been here
don't wanna go home
Tell me it how it feels then
Baby come on
Come on
Drinking how long
Don't know what you're thinking
You don't really show
Tell me it how it feels then
Baby come on
Come on
I should know by now
We're out of control
I should know by now
We're out of control
But we'll never slow down no oh
Took your time to get here
Tell me what you want
I know what you're thinking are we really on
Tell me it how it feels then
Baby come on
Come on
Can see it now coming
Taking me over
Take me to the deep end
Run and jump off
Tell me it how it feels then
Baby come on
Come on
Come on
I should know by now
We're out of control
Waiting for you to slow down ohhh
I should know by now
We're out of control
But we'll never slow down no oh
Running from the real thing
Drinking how long
Don't know what you're thinking
You don't really show
Tell me it how it feels then
Baby come on
Come on
