(Lifelines - 2002) A-HA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will never let you down
I will always be around
In the time we are here
We'll see love disappear
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, dragonfly

I will never bring you down
I will always stick around
I will heat you when you're cold
In the time we have left
We'll raise eyes to the sky
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, dragonfly

Don't ask how
Don't ask why




Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, fly, fly dragonfly
