smoke and feathers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I want you to lose it
We can go by night time
Cus' I love it when it's spooky
Baby you don't need to be my guy
We don't need to me consistent
I love things that's undefined
oooh
Baby take me for the long ride
I do need things to change here
Oh and you can be my life guide
Then all my thoughts will disappear
We can go for the long ride
Do you mind if I sleep
I need space and my own time
Still I'm yours to keep
We can go for the long ride
Do you mind if I sleep
I need space and my own time
Still I'm yours to keep
We can go for the long ride
Do you mind if I sleep
I need space and my own time
Still I'm yours to keep
We can go for the long ride
Do you mind if I sleep
I need space and my own time
Still I'm yours to keep
We can go for the long ride
Do you mind if I sleep
I need space and my own time
Still I'm yours to keep
