Southbound
Endicott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could drive all night, but I'd never find my way. Away from this place, I could drive all night. Away from you voice and never escape.
If I crossed these lines, I could be just far enough out of reach forever. And if I need today I could be the best friend that you've never been to me.
Don't stay with me while I'm fading disapearing into nothing. Don't follow me when I'm chasing after midnight. When it's come all apart when it's out so deep,
In the bend before the break - when you choking on the air that you breath, how do you expect to live? don't stay wit me while I'm fading , disapearing into nothing.
Don't follow me when I'm chasing midnight. I'll keep driving until its light out. faster, ferther away until I forget the days. Until I forget my name.
Faster.Farther away. don't stay with me while I'm fading disapearing away into nothing. don't follow me whin I'm chasing after midnight. don't keep holding on.
Because. I'm letting you go, from the blue sky down to the dark earth. Gone

Don't stay with me while I'm fading disapearing into nothing. Don't follow me when I'm chasing after midnight.

I don't want you around me while I'm falling apart, disappearing into nothingness. Don't follow me when I'm in pursuit of the unattainable. When everything is falling apart and I'm at the brink of breaking, and even the air I breathe feels suffocating, how can I expect to survive? So, please, don't stay with me while I'm fading away into nothing.


Don't follow me when I'm chasing midnight. I'll keep driving until its light out. faster, ferther away until I forget the days. Until I forget my name. Faster.Farther away. don't stay with me while I'm fading, disappearing away into nothing. don't follow me when I'm chasing after midnight. don't keep holding on. Because. I'm letting you go, from the blue sky down to the dark earth. Gone
Don't try to come with me when I'm passionately chasing something that may destroy me. I'll keep on driving until sunrise, forgetting about time and my own identity. I need to move farther and faster, leaving everything behind, including you. I'm losing myself in this journey towards an uncertain future. Don't hold onto me, as I'm letting go of you, our relationship vanishing like a dream. It's time to let go and accept that we're no longer together, from the bright sky above to the dark earth beneath us.
