Something Real
DEAD:LUNG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open my heart and let it reign
All of the moments just keep fading away
I want to know what it feels like
Living on the edge of something right
All of the moments just keep fading away
As you run to the door i can feel your heart beating
I don't
Even know what you're running from
You know
Got all the time in the world don't you hear me screaming
I don't
Even know what you're running from
You've had the best of life it seems
I never come close just work out dreams
I'm always waiting for someone to reach out to me
I never knew love was just a game
Now you're filling me up with all this pain
I'm always waiting for someone to reach out to me
Don't go
As you run to the door i can feel your heart beating
I don't
Even know what you're running from
You know
Got all the time in the world don't you hear me screaming
I don't
Even know what you're running from
