Lonely Days
Eagle‐Eye Cherry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By the rules you laid down in this game
'Cause now I've gone and lost myself in you
One time you catch a ride
And it takes you miles away
There's a chance of never feeling blue
And those lonely days will be long time forgotten
Now let's contemplate is this time of passion
Strong enough to make you stay
Because I do believe in forever
And forever I will stay
And those lonely days will remain
Miles and miles away
Emotional exile
Is the safest way to play
Gotta take a chance every now and then
Irresistible change of heart
I will guide your way
We could share a life again
And those lonely days will be long time forgotten
If we could find another way
Now let's contemplate is this time of passion
Strong enough to make you stay
Because I do believe in forever
And forever I will stay
And those lonely days will remain
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away....
(Repeat)
Girl I can't abide

@GabrielLobatooo
Agreed! but in brazil things work different, here, if some goooood band come to the public, people start making they're own versions of it in other genres like forró, sertanejo and other 'local' types of music, you know what i mean? brazil its huge, but in some parts of it sometimes its better to do not let people meet the good things so they dont mess with it
@sandro0094
I agree with u man...Our people likes to destroy some good music, doing their sucking version/cover, mainly in forro, pagode and sertanejo.
But do u know that Eagle eye don´t make so much success for here...So, we have no worry about this ! :)
