Echoboy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you be so kind
As just to let me in
[under your skin]
Circulate you're system with security
With security

love is sometimes strange
Can cut you like a knife

[take your life]
Shape you into something
You don't wish to be

I know I'm sometimes blind
And I don't read the signs
But deep inside
You know you'll always be
My priority, my priority

laughing with each other
Like we used to do
I'm coming home
Circulate you're system
With love, WITH LOVE

I gave you this time
A mountain to climb
An ocean to swim
A light that's so dim
And if truth be told
A heart so cold
Arms that won't hold

Still I want to come home
COME HOME
