Reptile Lyrics by Jackie

New at Drugs - EP

2020

[Verse 1]
You’re a youthful mess
In a truthful time
Could put up with this
With a younger mind
With a younger mind
You lit the candle, but you took my spark
It was hard to handle when it fell apart
It fell apart
Yah, you were taking your time
Making a mess of mind
The craziest part of me was you
Yeah, you were messin’ my mind
You took my hand and didn’t breathe a word
The sound of what you want is all you heard
You thought I’d carry you
You thought I’d carry you

[Pre-Chorus]
When you’re heavy
When you’re heavy
When you’re heavy
When you’re heavy

[Chorus 1]
(Ohhh)
No we’re not animals
Not just next of kin
(Ohhh)
We are reptiles
Because we shed our skin
(Ohhh)
You thought that I needed you
Because I let you in
(Ohhh)
I love like a reptile
Yeah, I shed my skin

[Verse 2]
You fixed to swindle
Right from the start
You tried to change me
It broke my heart
Broke my heart
I can strip the feeling from every bone
I can start the healing before you know
Before you know
Yeah, you were taking your time
Making a mess of my mind
The craziest part of me was you
Yeah, you were messin’ my mind
It felt like a whisper but it shook my head
Some words are better spoke than left unsaid
Than left unsaid

[Pre-Chorus]
When you’re heavy
When you’re heavy
When you’re heavy
When you’re heavy

[Chorus 2]
(Ohhh)
No we’re not animals
Not just next of kin
(Ohhh)
We are reptiles
Because we shed our skin
(Ohhh)
You thought that I needed you
Because I let you in
(Ohhh)
I love like a reptile
Yeah I shed my skin
(Ohhh)
(You thought I needed you)
No we’re not animals
(You thought I needed you)
Not just next of kin
(Ohhh)
We are reptiles
Because we shed our skin
(Ohhh)
(You thought I needed you)
You thought that I needed you
(You thought I needed you)
Because I let you in
(Ohhh)
I love like a reptile
Yeah, I shed my skin
