Architects Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burn everything you have
And leave it all behind
Lose all your inhibitions
I'll take the mess you made
And I'll make it beautiful
Oh if time only stood still forever

Hold out your hand and lean upon me
I'll be the one to make you smile
Hold out your hand and lean upon me
I'll be the one to make you smile again
Hold out your hand and lean upon me
I'll be the one to make you smile
Hold out your hand and lean upon me
I'll be the one to make you smile again

This moment that we're in
Is slow and disappointing
Time will never stand still forever
If you take this chance we got
We can make it beautiful
If you'd take my word
I'd be your savior

Hold out your hand and lean upon me
I'll be the one to make you smile
Hold out your hand and lean upon me
I'll be the one to make you smile again
Hold out your hand and lean upon me
I'll be the one to make you smile
Hold out your hand and lean upon me
I'll be the one to make you smile again

Hold out your hand and lean upon me
Hold out your hand and lean upon me
Hold out your hand and lean upon me
Hold out your hand and lean upon me

Burn everything you have
And leave it all behind
Lose all your inhibitions
I took the mess you made




And I made it beautiful
Oh if time only stood still forever, forever

I know a lot of people gave this album flack because it wasn't as heavy as their other material but honestly, this is probably my favorite song by Architects!

@juliam.2291

Same here

@rip3rs

Who cares if it's heavy . . . As long as the song / album shares the feeling / emotion. it don't matter if its pop or goth :D
