Christel Alsos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m bleeding now
Looking for a short way to escape this now
It’s freezing here now close the window
There is winter in my heart
The wind is blowing right across the room
Don’t throw it all away
I don’t wanna pass you like
A stranger on the street
Falling a long way down from you and me
Falling a too short run for you and me
Talk to me now it’s him right now
It’s me now the on the pingle
You here beside me your head on me
I said love, I meant love
Isn’t that enough for you?
I don’t wanna pass you like
A stranger on the street
(I don’t wanna pass you like
A stranger on the street)
Not recognizing the look in your eye
Everywhere it become it become a lie
We’re at a place where we don’t belong
Falling a long way down from you and me
Falling a too short run for you and me

I’m starving now in pieces now
I feel empty and broken inside
I’m bleeding now
I am hurting and in pain
Looking for a short way to escape this now
Trying to find a quick solution to get away from this situation
It’s freezing here now close the window
It feels extremely cold and I want to shut out the cold
There is winter in my heart
I feel sadness and emptiness in my emotions
The wind is blowing right across the room
I feel a sense of uneasiness and discomfort in the environment
I said love, I meant love
When I spoke of love, I truly meant it
Don’t throw it all away
Please don't discard our love completely
I don’t wanna pass you like a stranger on the street
I don't want our relationship to become distant and unfamiliar
Falling a long way down from you and me
Our connection is deteriorating and we are drifting apart
Falling a too short run for you and me
Our time together feels insufficient and fleeting
Talk to me now it’s him right now
Communicate with me, it's important and urgent
It’s me now the on the pingle
I am the one who needs attention and care
You here beside me your head on me
With you by my side, resting your head on me, I feel comforted
Isn’t that enough for you?
Aren't my love and presence sufficient for you?
Not recognizing the look in your eye
I can't interpret the expression in your eyes anymore
Everywhere it become it become a lie
Everything seems fake and deceitful
We’re at a place where we don’t belong
We find ourselves in a situation where we feel out of place
