memory lane
H2O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I wasting all my time chasing innocence to find
A time in my life when I should have known better?
Have I wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face
Am I a liar?

Because I want to do what's right
But I need to understand
Do I burn the bridge and call it a life lesson
As these thoughts come floating in?
Will the memories race to a higher price to pay?

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
I'm still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And I don't have much to say

As I fumble through my lines
Tripping wires in my mind
There's a script that failed the breach and I'm ready
From another place in time
Where the memories race to a higher price to pay

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
I'm still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And I don't have much to say

Looking forward for tomorrow
Staring down on yesterday
Can't you see I'm driving blindly?
Can't you see that I'm?
Can't you see I'm driving blindly?

Am I wasting all my time
Chasing innocence to find
A time in my life when I should have known better
Have I wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face?

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the billionth time today
I'm still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And I don't have much say
I'm still waiting

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
Looking for another place to play
I'm still waiting




Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And I don't have much to say
