"Nikki" lyrics

He was the man of every hour
He was a party all alone
He'd give his jacket to a stranger in the cold
She was the beauty queen from Dallas
She could put a lion on a leash
And before he knew himself
She knew the man that he could be

It's never that easy, it never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just four minutes, they knew each other for life
And he said

"Alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can let your hair down
Alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can take a breath now

If you only live once, stay in the clouds
Never come down, trust me
Alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can let your hair down"

She was an angel craving chaos
He was a demon seeking peace
But they were each other's toxic cure
Called codependency

He tried to dig his way out of a coffin
'Cause she smothered him with care
Before they lived in castles
They were dying on a prayer

It's never that easy, it never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just four minutes, they knew each other for life
And he said

"Alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can let your hair down
Alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can take a breath now

If you only live once, stay in the clouds
Never come down, trust me
Alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can let your hair down"
Whoa

It's never that easy, it never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just four minutes, they knew each other for life
And he said

"Alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can let your hair down
It's alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can take a breath now

It's alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can let your hair down
It's alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can take a breath now

If you only live once, stay in the clouds
Never come down, trust me
Alright, Nikki, it's alright, baby
Tonight, you can let your hair down"
