Neon lights
Covered in Snow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was ten years ago
I got to that point
I've walked the same ways
To find it again
All days - I stayed inside
I wasted all days
I wasted my youth
Now something has to be done
Take back the years that I've lost
I'll let them talk when I walk
I will go and leave this behind
Now something has to be done
Take back the years that I've lost
I'll let them talk when I walk
I will never look back again
I feel different here tonight
As the neon lights surround me
At last I start to change my mind
We'll find a way from our mistakes
I feel different here tonight
As neon lights surround
At last I start to change my mind
My past is fading
How come we always
Compete with ourselves
I feel like I can't win without you
All years - Afraid of my life
I wasted all years
I wasted my youth
Now something has to be done
Take back the years that I've lost
I'll let them talk when I walk
I will go and leave this behind
Now something has to be done
Take back the years that I've lost
I'll let them talk when I walk
I will never look back again
I feel different here tonight
As the neon lights surround me
At last I start to change my mind
We'll find a way from our mistakes
I feel different here tonight
As neon lights surround




At last I start to change my mind
My past is fading
