Cygnus X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All those colors that we've seen?
Do you think that I′d forget about
The million places we have been?
Do you think I could ever lose it?
Got everything inside my head
Before I lose a minor detail
I'd rather lose myself instead
All those colors that we′ve seen?
Do you think that I′d forget about
The million places we have been?
Do you think I can't remember
All those colors that we′ve seen?
Do you think that I'd forget about
The million places we have been?
Do you think I could ever lose it?
Got everything inside my head
Before I lose a minor detail
I′d rather lose myself instead
