Curtain Call
Bryan Rice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to convince me we will be OK
And I'll believe in every word you say
Soon you'll be gone, you got me hanging on
Don't wanna say, wanna say, say goodbye

I don't want you to go
please just stay, stay right here
Time is running out for us now
Listen here

Whenever the sky is breaking
Your heart is ready for the taking
Remember what I tell you now
Remember how we're feeling right this moment
Nothing in this world can stop me
I'm with you in every heartbeat
Remember we had it all
Before the curtain call

Before the curtain call
It's been so long since you've been here with me
The fact we're apart is killing me
I'll count the minutes till you're at the door
Tick tock, tick tock in my head

I can't wait to see you again
- Meant to be
Such a big mistake
Want you back here with me

Whenever the sky is breaking
Your heart is ready for the taking
Remember what I tell you now
Remember how we're feeling right this moment
Nothing in this world can stop me
I'm with you in every heartbeat
Remember we had it all
Before the curtain call

If the sky should fall
would you be there for me?
At the curtain call
will you think of me?
Up against the wall
I know we're meant to be
At the curtain call
you can count on me
If the sky should fall
would you be there for me?
At the curtain call
will you think of me?

Will you think of me?

Whenever the sky is breaking
Your heart is ready for the taking
Remember what I tell you now
Remember how we're feeling right this moment
Nothing in this world can stop me
I'm with you in every heartbeat
Remember we had it all
Before the curtain call
