Revival
Chely Wright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been around a block or two
The seasons will come like they do
I'm holding on to threads of us
Cause time away from you wasn't enough
To get me over

I know enough to know
I can't control
All these emotions
When they overflow
I've got this intuition
I can keep you in my vision
At least I keep on wishing
For a revival
Revival

When we had it all fireworks
Exploding and lighting up our world
Then things I can't recall now piled up
And for the life of me, I don't know what
We were thinking

I know enough to know
I can't control
All these emotions
When they overflow
I've got this intuition
I can keep you in my vision
At least I keep on wishing
For a revival
Revival

Bridge:
It's hard to explain the peace I find
While waiting for our hearts to realign
I believe it's just a matter of time

I know enough to know
I can't control
All these emotions
When they overflow
I've got this intuition
I can keep you in my vision
At least I keep on wishing




For a revival
Revival

It's hard to explain the peace I find
It is difficult to articulate the tranquility and serenity I discover


While waiting for our hearts to realign
While patiently anticipating the alignment and harmony of our emotions


I believe it's just a matter of time
I have faith that it will happen, it is only a question of when
