Time in Space
Dirty Americans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess I just stay here in orbit
But sometimes I have to hold my breath and wait
And it's almost time
To make my way back home
Maybe this is the one
And we come through alive

And all will be forgiven
I'll try to be alright
But the world won't wait for me
I'm tryn' to survive
Just one more day, yeah

Sometimes we all fall to pieces
But sometimes it don't go back the same old way
But it's almost time
To make our way back home
But you will be there
When I hit the water

And all will be forgiven
I'll try to be alright
But the world won't wait for me
I'm tryn' to survive
Just one more day

Thanks for the get away

I'll try to be alright
But the world won't wait for me
I'm tryn' to survive
Just one more day

I'll try to be alright
Could the world just wait for me
I'll try to survive
Just one more day




Just one more day
One more day
