The Ballad Of
Hale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are 8 billion people in this world
8 billion lives are changing
Never felt so alone

Would you consider me in spite of this?
I'm always the one who loses
Would you make me better?
How, how, how will we make this work?
Why do you have to be so far?
It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you
Like flowing water into forever

That look is all I need to get by
Like living in some illusion
I never felt so alive

I know that there will be flaws around us
The silly wars that we'll be fighting
Yes, I'll be fighting

How, how, how will we make this work?
Why do you have to be so far?
It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you
Like flowing water into forever

It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you
Like flowing water into forever
Into forever now
I'll be the one who holds you dear





There are 8 billion people in this world
8 billions live are changing and you're the one I need.
