Ruby
Geskle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And here I go again now, tracing diamonds I've found
Forced to reminisce but
I'll stop holding on to gemstones, keep my eyes closed as
They keep on drifting out of my hands
Awe was such an easy feeling, but now I realize how
I was just staring at the comedown
I've pulled out all those slivers that were left of you
Sapphire blue, I'm right here learning how to move on too
I'll stop holding on to gemstones, keep my eyes closed as
They keep on drifting out of my hands
Awe was such an easy feeling, but now I realize how
I was just staring at the comedown
