In The Dark
Brash Isaac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waking up
Not feeling like I'm changing much
And I've been getting cold
On the idea of calling this place home
I've been trying pretty hard for this from the start of it
And I keep putting one foot wrong
And am I living in the dark or am I still a part of it?
Or is it time to move on?
I need you to sit up
And pay some more attention cos
If it feels as though my heart is getting cold
It's cos it's dying to escape from within my bones
I've been trying pretty hard for this from the start of it
And I keep putting one foot wrong
And am I living in the dark or am I still a part of it?
Or is it time to move on?
I've been trying pretty hard for this from the start of it
And I keep putting one foot wrong




And am I living in the dark or am I still a part of it, darlinf?
Or is it time to move on?
