With Our Backs To The City
Epic45 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dragging slowly inside me
Leave the world cut in free
Start again begin
Crawl away under my skin

Crawl away
Crawl away
Save yourself
Crawl away
Crawl away
Take me with you
Crawl away

(Crawl away, crawl away)
(Crawl away, crawl away)

Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away
Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)

Drunk on the hillside
Black skies
But I see sunshine
In your eyes

Green hills
Blue skies
Your feels
Still in the eyes

Green hills (crawl away)
Blue skies (crawl away)
Your feels (crawl away)
Look fine (crawl away)

Crawl away (crawl away)




Crawl away (crawl away)
Crawl away (crawl away)

О , ты все-таки решила посмотреть в комментарии! Подумай, а ведь кто-то 10 лет назад знал, что мы будем вместе и создал такое чудо для нас. Даже выпустил его 26 марта, это мой подарок от кого-то, а от меня - тебе.
