Savior
Finn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to come back down
I like you on the ground
I want to hear your footsteps, for the first time in a long time

I hear the city's grey, but you can't hide away
My ache is better, we're tearing together

I want you to come back down
I like you on the ground




I want to hear your footsteps, for the first time in a long time
