Don’t Shoot (Me Down) Lyrics by OK Koala

Coping Mechanisms EP

2018

[Verse 1:]
Summer is over
But you wouldn't know it, so long
You wanna steal my thunder
And silence my song
Out of the cobwebs
I’m drunk
But not far from you
Give me a myriad
Of reasons to be less confused

[Chorus:]
And you wanna laugh at me; I'm a mess
But I'm painted almost gold
The stoplights all are burning out
But no change has shown
And you wanna shoot me down ’til I'm dead
But I'm safer on the road
The clock is all but running out
On my way back home

[Verse 2:]
And now that I'm away
You want me
Breathing deeply as you push me under
It's not just the two of us in this room
But I've been
Glaring at you like it's us alone; sometimes I wonder
What was I holding
In my head
That blocked me from seeing?
Every time I try to tell anyone what you did, it doesn't seem worth repeating

[Chorus]

[Sexy sax solo]
