Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It won’t close,
it won’t go away.
Tenfold,
my love’s
indebted in…
come make the rain fall,
don’t wait a day more.
If I’d known,
it’d escalate…
Save for my love,
oh, I can't go far wrong.
Come make it,
come make the rain fall,
come shape it,
come make the waveform,
come face it,
come when you’re dead and gone,
don’t wait a day more.
Your eyes, they move along, they don’t recall,
only your eyes, they move along, they don’t retrieve,
only you’re right, I had it wrong, so I’ll retreat.
