Analysis of Wrapped Up



Nowadays it's all sex, drugs and rock n' roll,
fuck bitches, get money, and
stack on stacks on stacks, but
what happened to love?
What happened to getting so completely lost and
wrapped up in someone else instead of getting high?
I long for the days when I'll be in someone's arms
for the right reasons and not just the pretty
little thing on their laps.
