Bears of Legend Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Come" she says. "Your father has let you down,
Leaving us somewhere behind."
"Why?" he says. "Father has never gone,
tell me what happened to him."

"Dead" she says. "In between earthquakes and satellite dreams."
"Look at me, don't you see how much he wanted to know more?"

"Hold you beath, give me your heart." she says.
"Love will not save you alone."

"Chasing a treasure, you'll lose what you gathered and never be able to live."
"Take your time to clear your mind and someday your courage will find."
"All you need to disappear and make you forget that you want more."

"Will you make this right from where you are?" X 2

"Will you make this right by now, from where you are?" X 2
"Will you make this right by now?" More.
