Lyrics

Ruin

Dirty sneakers, clean them off
After hours in the park
Took me golfing in British air
I would have hated it if you weren't there

You've had a lot of exes
Had a lot of experiences
But this is all so new
And I'm so scared that you

You're gonna ruin a lot of good things for me
Maybe this whole entire city by the time that I leave
You're gonna ruin a lot of good things for me
Even if you're not there, you'll be the only thing that I see

Primrose Hill with all your friends
I'd hate if something happened, and I won't see them
'Cause now I've rode the train just to meet your mom
I've seen your hometown, where you're from

You've had a lot of exes
Got a lot of experiences
But this is all so new
And I'm so scared that you

You're gonna ruin a lot of good things for me
Maybe this whole entire city by the time that I leave
You're gonna ruin a lot of good things for me
Even if you're not there, you'll be the only thing I see

Oh-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, no, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, no, oh, oh-oh, oh, no, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You're gonna ruin a lot of good things for me
I just know it, I know it
You're gonna ruin a lot of good things for me
Yes, you will, oh

You're gonna ruin a lot of good things for me
Maybe this whole entire city by the time that I leave
You're gonna ruin a lot of good things for me
Even if you're not there, you'll be the only thing that I see

Oh-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, no, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, no, oh, oh-oh, oh, no, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
