Monaco
Audien Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He broke your heart in Monaco,
Your tears fell through the payphone
You swore that you're always be alone,
but something inside me is changing
She left me there in Amsterdam,
The love is real as a hologram
I thought of you and right then I knew,
You should be beside me, beside me

I'm just a blind man seeing the sun for the first time
Yeah, it was always you,
Now it's pulling like a riptide
I'm just a blind man seeing the sun for the first time
Yeah, it was always you,
And I can see the love in your eyes

I'm just a blind man seeing the sun for the first time
Yeah, it was always you,
Now it's pulling like a riptide

We knew back since the seventh grade,
And now we ran all those plans we've made
We always swore that we'd never change
but the feeling inside me is fading!
'Cause I see your face in a different light,
Something real I don't wanna fight
And I finally know every single night
You should be beside me, beside me

I'm just a blind man seeing the sun for the first time
Yeah, it was always you,
Now it's pulling like a riptide
I'm just a blind man seeing the sun for the first time
Yeah, it was always you,
And I can see the love in your eyes

I'm just a blind man seeing the sun for the first time
Yeah, it was always you,
Now it's pulling like a riptide

He broke your heart in Monaco,
Your tears fell through the payphone




You swore that you're always be alone,
but something inside me is changing
