Relapse Lyrics Meaning – Warren Zeiders
So, maybe we should relapse, relapse
Drink us one or two or three jacks go back
Baby, I ain’t talking rehab, I’m talkin’ what we had
When you were mine
Love that look in your eye
I’m undressin’ in my head, my bed
Ain’t got no one on your side yet, I’d wreck
Midnight into morning with you, ain’t nobody get you like I do
So maybe we should

Girl I wonder should we make another mistake
Undercovers, I say I’m recovered
I’d change that in heartbeat just to feel your body
