Return
Bullets And Octane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I'll go anywhere you will go
Pride - it's overrated
It keeps you waiting
All alone
I've been deceiving in a careless world
Running all the time!
(Didn't last gotta tell me love)
Fallen from your lie
(Return, return)
Running all the time!
(Return, return)
Fallen from your lie
Something more simple
Yeah something that's frayed
I will complicate, beyond belief
I will build me a country
and live by the sea
At the world was denial
When you found me
Running all the time!
(Didn't last gotta tell me love)
Fallen from your lie
(Return, return)
Running all the time
(Return, return)
Fallen from your lie
Fallen from your lie
Yeah! Go!!
Running all the time!
(Didn't last gotta tell me love)
Fallen from your lie
(Return, return)
Running all the time
(Return, return)
Fallen from your
(Return, return) (oh love)
(Return, return) (love)
(Return, return)
(Return, return)
(Return, return)
(Return, return)
(Return, return)
(Return, return)
(..Didn't last gotta tell me love..)

Drive, just take me anywhere
I have no specific destination in mind, anywhere you go will suffice for me
Yeah I'll go anywhere you will go
I am willing to follow wherever you may lead me
Pride - it's overrated
Excessive pride is not worth having
It keeps you waiting
It causes you to constantly anticipate a particular outcome
All alone
Feeling isolated from others
I've been deceiving in a careless world
I have been dishonest in a world that does not care about such things
With a bossy woman, fragile girl
I have been involved with a pushy and controlling woman, who is also emotionally vulnerable
Running all the time!
I am constantly on the move, never stopping for long
(Didn't last gotta tell me love)
My romantic relationships have not been long-lasting, and I have become accustomed to expecting them to fail

I want to go back to a previous state of being
Something more simple
I desire something less complicated

Something that is broken or worn down
I will complicate, beyond belief

I will build me a country and live by the sea
I will create my own little world, living by the ocean where I can find peace and solitude
At the world was denial
The world was blind to the truth
When you found me
But then you showed me the error of my ways
Fallen from your lie
I have seen through the false persona you put on and am no longer deceived by you
Yeah! Go!!
