Three Seconds
FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Three days without water, but I don't need a drink
Three weeks without eating, and I ain't touched a thing
Three minutes without breathing, but I can't catch my breath
Three years I've been thinking, I know if you left
That I'd last only last three seconds without you

I'd only last three seconds without you
I'd only last three seconds without you

Words have no meaning and there's nothing I can do
I'd go to hell and back, I'd live and die for you
I'm drowning, I'm falling deeper every day
Can you hear me, I'm calling, what I'm trying to say
Is I'd last only last three seconds without you

(Only last three seconds without you)
Only last three seconds without you
(Only last three seconds without you)
Only last three seconds without you

Everywhere I go, everything I do
Every time I look into your eyes
Can't see this life without you by my side
All of my fears just disappear every time you say
"I'm yours until my dying day"
"Till my dying day"

Only last three seconds without you
(Only last three seconds without you)
Only last three seconds without you
(Only last three seconds without you)
Only last three seconds without you
Only last three seconds without you
Only last three seconds without you
(Only last three seconds without you)
Only last three seconds without you





Without you
