Squeeze
Christopher Jak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
barely goes beneath the neck
wake me up before the morning
for the pain has not yet left your head
take my hand and squeeze
if you feel it coming again
she goes down so far to that place again so fast, I cant catch, I cant reach no, no I can not be heard
she goes down so far so fast to that place I cant catch or reach no
I cannot be heard
nod your head with understanding,
just like that
everyday, becomes so demanding so you push and you push and it pushes you back
take my hand and squeeze
if you feel it coming again
she goes down so far to that place again so fast I cant catch, I cant reach no, no I can not be heard
you fell down and turn over youve gotta move on beyond that cruddy feeling
You can almost hear them saying 'I know thats going to hurt but its going to heal'
come down, come down, come down
she goes down so far to that place again so fast, I cant catch, I cant reach no, no I can not be heard
she goes down so far so fast to that place I cant catch or reach no
I cannot be heard
here it comes
