daybreak
Benj Heard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We go way back
I can’t find that afterglow
Please don’t turn back
Why do I feel like caving in?
Take where the sun can find my skin
Even when we cannot see the end
Can we make it to the daybreak
Where the heartache fades to blue
Can we take it to the daybreak
I can face it if I’ve got you
I’ve been fighting shadows
We’ve both been there
Can I ever let it go
I don’t know, but somewhere
Even when we cannot see the end
Can we breathe and simply try again?
Can we make it to the daybreak
Where the heartache fades to blue
Can we take it to the daybreak
I can face it if I’ve got you
Can we make it to the daybreak
Where the heartache fades to blue
Can we take it to the daybreak
I can face it if I’ve got you
I can face it if I’ve got you
Can we make it to the daybreak
Where the heartache fades to blue
Can we take it to the daybreak
I can face it if I’ve got you
