Lately
Day of Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Done with everything that I've thrown away
Waitin' for the sun up
I'm through the gray with my song
I need you, I feed you
You know, you know
You know, you know
It's time to forget about all the things
You've been thinkin' about lately
Lately, it's been a roller coaster
Those doubts and reasons why
It's time to forget about all the lies
That are makin' your heart angry
Angry and all the ones that said
You would never ever fly, fly
Cuttin' through, feel the groove of the day
Pushin' through the pain 'till it goes away, yeah
Memories cuttin' like a razor blade
Pushin' through the pain 'til it fades away, yeah
I bleed you
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know
It's time to forget about all the things
You've been thinkin' about lately
Lately, it's been a roller coaster
Those doubts and reasons why
It's time to forget about all the lies
That are makin' your heart angry
Angry and all the ones that said
You would never ever fly, die
Please take this heart of mine
For a ride through the sky
Please take this heart
For a ride through the sky, yeah, yeah
It's time to forget about all the things
You've been thinkin' about lately
Lately, it's been a roller coaster
Those doubts and reasons why
It's time to forget about all the lies
That are makin' your heart angry
Angry and all the ones that said
You would never ever fly, fly, fly
