Right Thing to Do
SBTRKT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to find, find the right time
Trying to find, find the right time
Walking alone I'm in the red lines
Trying to find, find the right time
Walking alone I'm on the wrong side
Try'na find, find the right times
Let me eat all these lies up
Let me hide, let me hide them
Let me hide, let me hide them
Walking alone with my eyes shut
On my own won't be giving up
Walking alone won't mean I'll come for you
Time runs when there's no truth
Such a hurricane, such a hurtin' pain
Trapped in my soul and I can't explain
Trapped in my soul and I can't explain
Let me eat all these lies up
Let me hide, let me hide them
Let me hide, let me hide them
(Won't me I'll come for you)
(Time runs when there's no truth)
(Time runs when there's no truth)
Such a hurricane, such a hurtin' pain
Trapped in my soul and I can't explain
Trapped in my soul and I can't explain
Let me eat all these lies up
Let me hide, let me hide them
Let me hide, let me hide them
Let me hide, let me hide them
Let me hide, let me hide them
Such a hurricane, such a hurtin' pain
Trapped in my soul and I can't explain
Trapped in my soul and I can't explain
