Hope There's Someone
Avicii ft. Linnea Henriksson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I die, will I go?
And hope there's someone who'll set my heart free
Rest alone when I'm tired
There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How will I fall asleep tonight?
And that sin, I don't want to go
To the seals of war through shame
And there's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
Oohh! Oohh!
Oh I'm scared of that middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there
There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
And if I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed
And there's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed...
Ohhh! Ohhh!
