mountain
Boundary Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A throughout vision
Current overcame
And pulled me back again
Like a photograph
I should've cared
Haunted by the words
I hold my breath and see it through
Ten steps from fallin' to the moon
I swear I'll make this mountain move
Before I let it get to you uh uh uh uh
You uh uh uh uh
In the wilderness
All I'm up against
Done with glory contemplating
Diamonds fall
The days are wasted
No regrets
This is deliverance
Stacking up the words
To make my Everest
I hold my breath and see it through
Ten steps from fallin' to the moon
I swear I'll make this mountain move
Before I let it get to you uh uh uh uh
You uh uh uh uh
You uh uh uh uh
You uh uh uh uh
