Antidote
the vincent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the antidote
I’ll suck your venom out
Show me where it really hurts
I’ll show you where it really hurts

Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love

Honey, your clothes are soaked
Mom leaves my daddy’s trapes
Show me where it really hurts
I’ll show you where it really hurts

Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love

Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love

Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love

Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love




Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
