She never came back
College Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aah-ah
Ahh-ah
[Repeat]

At the start of the morning
Before the sunrise was yawning
The dream was now fading
Like there she goes

She never came back
She never came back, yeah
She never came back
She never came back, yeah

Segments came in a day dream
Wondering if it's what it seems
What if there's no other one out there
No other feelings untrue
Lift up your heavy curtain from those hazy eyes
One soul you're losing control like there she goes

She never came back
She never came back, yeah
She never came back
She never came back, yeah

So, when will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again





Oh oh oh oh oh...
