i'm afraid of losing you
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll scream loud at the top of my lungs tonight,
'Cause you know you will always be my light, Shooting stars could never be this bright
Do you know you will always be my light?
Screaming out your name, I'm not used to this, there's no turning back, there's no going home.
I won't breathe until you just tell me everything is alright,
I'm afraid of losing you,
I'm sorry that this will not end,
But I can't find the strength to speak,
'cause on the calender of your events I'm last week...
Keep your eyes closed and we'll make it through another day alive, but if we sit here thinking we are just wasting precious time.
So insted of thinking that were dead lets take apart what we have left,
Lay it out in front of us and take the things that we don't trust...
Screaming out your name, I'm not used to this, there's no turning back, there's no going home...
I wont breath until you just tell me everything's alright,
I'm not scared of losing this
I'm afraid of losing you
I'm sorry that this will not end
But I can't find the strength to speak
Cuz on the calender of your events
I'm last week...
I don't know how to speak for anyone but myself. You see darling there is nothing I can say that will save you anyways.
I wont breath until you tell me everything is alright,
I'm not scared of losing this
I'm afraid of losing you
I'm sorry this will not end
But I can't find the strength to speak cuz on the calender of your events
I'm last week...
Darling there's nothing I can say that'll save you anyways
