Sentimental Again
Faderhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unpacked
And the bags are light and empty again
Mistakes will happen to the best of us
While the grey and lonely faces
Feel the daily crush
Hard times will be falling onto everyone
No smiles
Mistakes will happen every now and then
Every now and then
Every day with all the bastards
People falling through the raster
Thinking back, feeling so sentimental again
Feeling so sentimental again
Shoot straight, when all the caps will stray
Into the walls
Duck fast and switch to bullet-time
To dodge them all
Mistakes will happen every now and then
Every now and then
Ride hard as the enemy is on your heels
Pretend
When they ask just what it is you feel
Mistakes will happen every now and then
Every now and then
