Copper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There i was, walking up to you when you turned away. you just turned and you're holding
Another's hand, but you won't even turn to look my way, so i touch the windown
Pane. i can feel your face. i can feel your lips. i can feel your arms, but to
You i don't even exist. if only you knew how much i wanted to be with you, you
Crush me with your smile....
