“Under The Influence” is a sultry track in which Elle describes the feeling of being love drunk. Like excessive drinking, this relationship isn’t exactly good for her, but she can’t imagine a life without it.
[Verse 1]
Just another morning with shaky hands
Pounding head, I guess I did it again
Try to leave, but I can't stand
Start to think that I'm better off dead
I'm sick of this condition
Your kiss is my addiction
I can tell you cast a spell
That knows no moderation
It's dangerous, the things we do
[Chorus]
Under the influence, I got no defense
It might be criminal, but still I just can't quit
Under the influence, I'll take the consequence
Well, if it's poisonous, let it take my last breath
Under the influence
[Verse 2]
Temptation creepin' up on me
Gets under my skin, won't let me be
Haunt my days and haunt my sleep
Viciously unrelenting
I'll lay down again
I'll give in again
And I'll feel good again
Begging for another beautiful sin
It's dangerous, the things we do
[Chorus]
Under the influence, I got no defense
It might be criminal, but still I just can't quit
Under the influence, I'll take the consequence
Well, if it's poisonous, let it take my last breath
[Bridge]
Under the influence, the walls are closing in
It's inevitable
That I can't seem to live without
The destruction of your love
Oh
[Chorus]
Under the influence, I'll take the consequence
Well, if it's poisonous, let it take my last breath
Under the influence, I got no defense
It might be criminal, but still I just can't quit
Under the influence, I'll take the consequence
Well, if it's poisonous, let it take my last breath
[Outro]
Under the influence
Under the influence
Under the influence
