April
Armlock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just when we were out of the gate
Honest to god I want to stay

Linking up the rings on a chain
Honest to god I want to stay

Found a way be a part
Of a story that you told
Be a murder in path
Adding to the dead load

Found a way to ignore you
In a way that makes sense
And the way you read aloud it
Kind of sounded like a threat

Just when all the hate went away
Honest to god I want to stay

Keeping up the front to keep face
Honest to god I want to stay

In a way I give a fuck
In a way that tips the scale
In a way you flipped a coin
In a way you got the tails

Found a way to ignore you
In a way that makes sense
In the way you read aloud it
Kind of sounded like a threat

Just when we were out

What I kept here
What you came for
More like Autumn
More like April

What you came for




More like Autumn
More like April
