Id
Holly & Loosid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without even turning around
It was just like the feeling I had before
On the night that I watched you walk out
I saw your shadow pass over the wall
And I had to get out of it's way
I'd know that heartache anywhere
I've felt it so many times
I recognize the signs in your eyes
And so I won't be buying your lies
When you try to tell me you care
I'd know that heartache anywhere
I hoped through the smoke and the neon light
I could slip out the way that I came
But just as I stepped out into the night
I heard you calling my name
There are some things in life
That you'd like to forget
But they just keep coming around
I'd know that heartache anywhere
I know when it's there
I recognize the signs in your eyes
And so I won't be buying your lies
When you try to tell me you care
I'd know that heartache anywhere
Anywhere

I knew it was you walking through the door
I immediately recognized that it was you entering the room
Without even turning around
I didn't need to physically turn to know it was you
It was just like the feeling I had before
The sensation I felt was familiar, like I've experienced it before
On the night that I watched you walk out
I vividly remember the night when you left me
I saw your shadow pass over the wall
Your silhouette crossed over the wall, catching my attention
And I had to get out of its way
I physically moved to avoid the shadow
I'd know that heartache anywhere
I have experienced that same pain before and can recognize it instantly
I've felt it so many times
I have endured this heartache multiple times
I recognize the signs in your eyes
I know the indications of pain in your eyes
And so I won't be buying your lies
I won't believe your deceitful words
When you try to tell me you care
Your attempts to convince me of your feelings
I hoped through the smoke and the neon light
I attempted to leave unnoticed in the midst of a hazy atmosphere
I could slip out the way that I came
I aimed to exit through the same path I entered
But just as I stepped out into the night
Unfortunately, as soon as I stepped outside
I heard you calling my name
I heard you vocalizing my name
There are some things in life
Certain experiences in life
That you'd like to forget
Memories that one desires to eradicate
But they just keep coming around
However, they persistently return
Anywhere
This heartache can occur wherever I am
