Joe Vs The cricket
Chase Long Beach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody wants and everybody needs.
The neon lights, our somber glare.
I feel myself become aware.
Remember whatever you do, hits me hard, but stays with you.
No regrets, just think it through.
It seems that everything is changing.
I know that′s the way it has to be.
What used to be life to you and me.
Now please don't you go paraphrasing.
Just tell me what you mean.
Running away won′t solve a thing.
What if it was me who came to you?
Put yourself for a second in my shoes.
Through the haze, I know that you're not right.
So I'm begging you to put up a fight
