Lean On
Mø proclaims that all we need is somebody to lean on. She reminisces about the good times, when all that mattered was caring for one another. In the chorus, she says "Blow a kiss, fire a gun." What does it mean? Maybe she's talking about hostility between exes. Sometimes, love can feel like a war.
