That Changes Everything
12 Stones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish that we could start over
And change everything that went wrong
It's hard to stay sober
When you feel like love is gone
We both need forgiveness
And we both need to forgive
For the past that hangs above our heads
And drives us to the end

All these things
I should have done
All the times
I try to run from you

If I fall from the ledge
I don't want to die with regrets
I see the ground coming
I'm not going to run anymore
I could make my amend
I swear I won't fail you again
I was ready to die
Until I saw you suffering
And that changes everything

Pieces go together
The images burn in my mind
Everything seems much clear
For this place I can't recognize
Oblivious to the ending
Your shame has covered my eyes
I'm haunted by my feelings
Imprisoned by my denial

All the things
We should have done
All the times
I try to run from you

If I fall from the ledge
I don't want to die with regrets
I see the ground coming
I'm not going to run anymore
I could make my amend
I swear I won't fail you again
I was ready to die
Until I saw you suffering
And that changes everything

Standing on top of the world looking down
Looking down
Searching for something we haven't found
Haven't found

If I fall from the ledge
I don't want to die with regrets
I see the ground coming
I'm not going to run anymore
I could make my amend
I swear I won't fail you again
I was ready to die




Until I saw you suffering
And that changes everything
