Cher Lloyd - www.SongsCloud.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How far until the edge?
These wrong ways are mine
But the whole world can just go to hell
This life is killing me
My feelings inside I can't explain
I'm awake, but not for long

The hope is still not gone
Somewhere behind the clouds
I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God

I gave you the story of my life
Some of my precious time
But I'm tired of this
With every promise of eternal light
Another feeling dies

The hope is still not gone
Somewhere behind the clouds
I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God

The hope is still not gone
Somewhere behind the clouds
I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God
(Reach out touch the hand of God)




I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God

"It's a fragile thing
This life we lead
If I think too much I can get over-
Whelmed by the grace
By which we live our lives
With death over our shoulder
Want you to know
That should I go I always loved you
Held you high above, true
I study your face
And the fear goes away"

Can't get any deeper than that. incredible lyrics.

@JesusCryptoChrist

the most heartbreaking moment is when the person that gave you memories, becomes a memory

@1978peoples

So true

@Breittz

Dude...

@mcgyver4262

This...

@christinacope562

And the memory remains searing deeply in the soul, never fading in its vibrancy.

@Real_masontroyadams

@@christinacope562 so much so that you experience bittersweet ruminations at the most innocuous moments. Fleeting moments of familiarity that dart across our subconscious in the wee hours, or the gleam of the smile of a stranger, caught at just the right angle in our outer periphery... In these moments, I like to think maybe someone is letting us know there's something else out there... 🙂

No matter where I’m at in life this song tears me to shreds every time grown ass man weeping

@markusbeham6674

Years are gone, but this song is still great! Maybe one of the best of Pearl Jam!

@thehumanconversationalist1527

One of many...in spite of all the harsh criticisms this band has faced. Mainly due to Eddie's pretentious attitudes. Still, perhaps that's a bit needed to a certain extent...to another extent please NO!!! This is a band many just love to hate even though just about all can't help but tap their toes & hum along.
