Micatone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't help but say
Slowly my fate is turning
You've taken all that I've got
You've taken all that I've got
You've taken all that I've got to give
Somewhere the road is turning
And I can feel the yearning
You've taken all that I've got
You've taken all that I've got
You've taken all that I've got to give
Slowly our luck is changing
My thoughts are slowly ranging
Slowly our luck is changing
My thoughts are slowly ranging
Slowly you're turning away
And I can't help but say
You've taken all that I've got
You've taken all that I've got
You've taken all that I've got to give
Somewhere the road is turning
And I can feel the yearning
You've taken all that I've got
You've taken all that I've got
You've taken all that I've got to give
