The Reason
Erio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m ready to take the risk
I'm gonna give you time
Inside this stubborn crane
Feelings engrave your name
If only I could send you
A map of what I feel
To let you see with my eyes
That I try to see with yours

There must be a reason
For which I can′t help
Being by your side
Hoping you'll change your mind
There must be a way
To make you let me
Enter that private space
Where we can only be
I'll stimulate in your brain
The chemical reactions
That can make you come closer
Close to what they call love
The shattered hearts of
All them rejected boys
Clatter in my ears
During my lonely days
The carefree sighs of
All them young lovers
Can really make sense
Only if I think of you
There must be a reason
For which I can′t help
Being by your side
Hoping you′ll change your mind
The shattered hearts of
All them rejected boys
Clatter in my ears
During my lonely days
The carefree sighs of
All them young lovers

Can really make sense
Only if I think of you
