Reach
Crowned King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This song is all I have to reach you in the end
But the words just come out wrong, and I'm stuck here there I don't belong
In thoughts of us I call you, try to tell you how I feel
But I end up off track, it's one step forward, and two steps back

To reach you

I miss you when you're out of town, but when you get back,
Your resistance often troubles me, you're the only one I want to see




It seems like very guy is cooler, has got smoother words than mine
But I just wanted to let you know, I'll still be standing here when they go
