Parkway Avenue
Emmaus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're gone
I slept awake
One more day
Holding on
I know this road
It walks much better
And i know
When i follow it
It will lead me home
It's getting cold
As the sun goes down
On the avenue
Where we walked our days away
Time it shows
As the years go by
That things change
I grow
But you stay the same
How do i hold onto you
When your dying
When you're dying to let go
How do i make it through
When I'm trying
When I'm tryna hold on
How can i get through to you
If I'm lying
If I'm lying to myself
To myself
I'm holding on
To you
I'm holding on
To you
Gave you all i had
And i loved you so bad
If you'd only see me now
How do i hold onto you
When your dying
When you're dying to let go
How do i make it through
When I'm trying
When I'm tryna hold on
How can i get through to you
If I'm lying
If I'm lying to myself
To myself
I'm holding onto you
I'm holding onto you
I'm holding onto you
I'm holding on

One more night
Another night without you
And you're gone
You've left, and I'm alone
I slept awake
I stayed up all night thinking of you
One more day
Another day without your love
Holding on
Trying to cling to what we had
I know this road
I'm familiar with this path
It walks much better
It's easier to navigate alone
If I'm alone
When I'm by myself
And i know
I'm aware
When i follow it
When I stay on this path
It will lead me home
It will take me where I need to be
It's getting cold
The warmth is fading
As the sun goes down
With the setting of the sun
On the avenue
On this street
Where we walked our days away
Where we used to spend our time
Time it shows
As time passes
As the years go by
Over the course of many years
That things change
That things are different now
I grow
I'm evolving
But you stay the same
But you've remained unchanged
How do i hold onto you
How can I keep you close?
When your dying
As you're slipping away
When you're dying to let go
When you're ready to move on
How do i make it through
How can I get past this?
When I'm trying
When I'm doing my best
When I'm tryna hold on
When I'm trying to hold onto what's left
How can i get through to you
How can I connect with you?
If I'm lying
If I'm not being truthful
If I'm lying to myself
If I'm deceiving myself
I'm holding on
I'm grasping
To you
To whatever's left of us
Gave you all i had
I gave my everything to you
And i loved you so bad
And I loved you deeply
If you'd only see me now
If you could only understand where I'm coming from
I'm holding onto you
I'm trying to keep you close
I'm holding onto you
I'm unwilling to let you go
I'm holding onto you
I'm trying to preserve what we had
I'm holding on
I'm still fighting
