Jane
Century Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jane, my heart is on the line
You've grow too fast
I lost the time
Jane, you're counting out your age
I read the signs like a mental sign
Jane, impossible to spell your name
Jane, the far away wind to touch
And disappear in to love
Jane, I'm talking in your sleep
you'll never know
I told you so, Jane,
I never really
could be near (you)
Oh, baby Jane, is it a
passion or a play or
just a name?
Nothing's impossible today
Lost in paradise I can't solve survive
Only half of life, Jane, the far away
wind to touch and
disappear in to love
Jane, I'm talking in your sleep
you'll never know
I told you so, Jane,
I never really
could be near you
Oh, baby Jane, is it a
passion or a play or
just a name?
Nothing's impossible today
Lost in paradise I can't solve survive
Only half of love
Jane, my heart is on the line
Another day, another time
Jane, my prayers are only words
in black and white
from left to right, Jane, I
never really could be
near you .
Wo, oh, Jane, I guess you'll never,




know my name
Jane... Oh, Oh Jane...
