Devils
Corey Crowder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Devils hide within us man, ripping us from limb to limb
But we have the strength to make it through
Simple words can make a stand, tip the side of an old tin can
That is my advice I have for you

And when you're gone love nothing seems to work out right
Love's gone by the wayside
But when you're home love simple words are all I find
Love comes by the wayside

City lights, busy streets was the perfect place to meet
Never knowing which way's up or down
Since I'm home, missing you, writing songs is all I do
Makes it seems like you're still around

'Cause when you're gone love nothing seems to work out right
Love's gone by the wayside
When you're home love simple words are all I find
Love comes by the wayside, yeah

When you're gone love nothing seems to work out right
Love's gone by the wayside




But when you're home love simple words are all I find
Love comes by the wayside, yeah
