Mine For Life
The Sounds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My head is pounding harder and you're not here, are never here.
But I had it once, but not anymore.
Well now I am tired and now I am bored, well I'm so bored.
But I could never leave you, even though I've tried.
No I could never leave you, 'cause you are mine for life.
I've been lost I've been found, I've been fooling around.
I've been hold, I've been told, I've been changing my mind.
I've been up, I've been down, come on in, take your time.
I've been low, I've been high, I'm in love with this lie.
Aooooooo. Do you feel the same?
Aooooooo. It wears me out again.
If this is called living, well don't count me in.
Sure I feel alive, but it doesn't mean a thing, no nothing.
But I could never leave you, even though I've tried.
No I could never leave you, 'cause you are mine for life.
I've been lost I've been found, I've been fooling around.
I've been hold, I've been told, I've been changing my mind.
I've been up, I've been down, come on in, take your time.
I've been low, I've been high, I'm in love with this lie.
Aooooooo. Do you feel the same?
Aooooooo. It wears me out again.
Aooooooo. Do you feel the same?
Aooooooo. It wears me out again.
I've been lost I've been found, I've been fooling around.
I've been up, I've been down, come on in, take your time.
I've been low, I've been high, I'm in love with this lie.
So good, It's so good, so good, HA!
It brings me up just to kick me down.
It'll fix me up, just to kick me down.
Kick it, kick it, kick it up.
Well bring me down oh yeah yeah.
