Mountain Past
Austin Meade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wishing my mind wouldn't run so fast
Think about a home that I used to know
All from a girl who had to go
Now there′s another bother in town, that bother her
Nothing but the rain in a few lost words
Heyin' for letters, never got to send
I′ll give anything if she don't let me back in now
Raining mornings and mere nights
Dark age girl who gave up the fight
Oh, a whole name a few months back
Said she was busy and that was it
Now there′s another brother in town that bother her
Nothing but the rain in a few lost words
Heyin' for letters, never got to send
I′ll give anything if she don't let me back in
I′ll give anything if she don't let me back in, now
I'm holding on
Now I′m holding on her
All this time and all this hate
All this rain and I′ll pound stronger
Now there's another bother in town, that bother her
Nothing but the rain in a few lost words
Heyin′ for letters, never got to send
Now there's another bother in town, that bother her
Nothing but the rain in a few lost words
Heyin′ for letters never got to send
I give anything if she don't let me back in
I give anything if she don′t let me back in, now
