I
Area Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I better learn to save the lies...I bet I earn a safer life
My letters to my favorite ties...upset I couldn't make the flights
I document the failing lines...I lost you on the trail I hiked
I'm clocking in to waste some time...Ill hold a space for you when we're aligned

We'll cross our paths and lock our eyes
We'll pick up where we left tonight
We'll cross our paths and lock our eyes
We'll pick up where we left tonight
We'll cross our paths and lock our eyes
We'll pick up where we left tonight




We'll cross our paths and lock our eyes
We'll pick up where we left tonight
