Dunderhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have to get drifty and get a little drunk, but I'll come back some other time
He have trying to get things to work by changing who we are
He's been home alovin' at this bar
It has been so tiering pretending that we're fine
I will come back some other time
I am holding on to something I cannot feel
And I do believe in caught in the middle I'm falling in too deep
And this crash is running round here in my mind
I will come back some other time
This time like once before we turned into a ghost
And it blurred out all the things I love the most
But behind the clouds I catch up is the sun that used to shine
We may come back some other time
Now I can't believe I'm going down this round of injustice
I am holding on to something I cannot feel
And I do believe in caught in the middle I'm falling in too deep
And this crash is running round here in my mind
Oh, I will come back some other time
Oh, come back some other time
Now I can't believe I'm going down this round of injustice
I am holding on to someone I cannot reach
And I do believe in caught in the middle I'm falling in too deep
And this crash is running round here in my mind
I will come back some other time
Come back some other time
Come back some other time
Come back some other time
Come back some other time
