Henry And Louis Meet Blue And Red Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't drown my demons
They know how to swim
Inside I've died a thousand times
So sick and tired of being sick and tired
My bones feel like they could ignite
So maybe one more time tonight
So maybe one more time tonight

Give me a sign if you know
Shine down your light if you know
Give me a sign if you know the answer
Shine down a light if you know the answer

Sometimes I feel I've been left behind
I sit alone and think all the time
What if this
What if that
What if silence yea answered back

Give me a sign if you know
Shine down your light if you know
Give me a sign if you know the answer
Shine down a light if you know the answer
Give me a sign if you know
Shine down your light if you know
Give me a sign if you know the answer, the answer
Shine down a light if you know
Shine down a light if you know
Shine down a light if you know
The answer

Give me a sign if you know
Shine down a light if you know
Give me a sign if you know the answer
Give me a sign if you know

Shine down a light if you know
Give me a sign if you know the answer
