ELEMENT
Fifth Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feeling light, cold and I'm miles away
I'm fumbling through as I wander on this desolate road
Running fast - I'm a winner!
In knowing that I'm running right back alone
Next time I face it
I know I will manage on my own
I told myself that I'll be fine
I know the signs
I know in time
I will fight
Sing in the rain
Let all the pain escape from me
I can handle this much, I'm okay
And when I'm thinking there's this feeling
That's inside of me
That made me follow through it
I love it, I love it
When I saw me tonight
I told myself that I'll be fine
I know the signs
I know in time
I will fight
Sing in the rain
Let all the pain escape from me
I can handle this much, I'm okay
And when I'm thinking there's this feeling
That's inside of me
That made me follow through it
I love it, I love it
Yeah
When I saw me tonight
I told myself that I'll be fine
I know the signs
I know in time
I will fight
Sing in the rain
Let all the pain escape from me
I can handle this much, I'm okay
I love it, I love it

First things first I'm a quitter

I'm feeling light, cold and I'm miles away
