Mountain
Homesafe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I've been marching up all the way to you so I could say this.
You tested me so now I'm coming for you.
And that's why you fled- running to keep your distance.

You couldn't bare to see us up on that hill where you stand.
You could have just let this go, but arrogance says you can't.

I know enough to tell you. The safety that you feel up there is never promised to keep you alive up on your mountain - the sanctuary where you hide is colder as you can tell. So come on back to the ground. So come on back to me now while I'm waiting.

Keep up on a life that's filled with hatred and never say you said you missed me. While your eyes focus on the peak and getting there instead.
Is this what you wanted? Look what you started.
You've done it again.





I never wanted this to hurt so bad. I just wanted you to turn around and take my hand.
I just wanted you to turn around. I wanted you to come back down.

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been marching up all the way to you
So I could say this
You tested me so now I'm coming for you
And that's why you fled
Running to keep your distance
You couldn't bare to see us up on that hill where you stand
You could have just let this go, but arrogance says you can't

[Chorus]
I know enough to tell you
The safety that you feel up there is never promised
To keep you alive up on your mountain
The sanctuary where you hide is colder as you can tell
So come on back to the ground
So come on back to me now while I'm waiting

[Verse 2]
Keep up on a life that's filled with hatred
And never say you said you missed me
While your eyes focus on the peak
And getting there instead
Is this what you wanted?
Look what you started
You've done it again

[Chorus]
I know enough to tell you
The safety that you feel up there is never promised
To keep you alive up on your mountain
The sanctuary where you hide is colder as you can tell
So come on back to the ground
So come on back to me now while I'm waiting

[Bridge]
I never wanted this to hurt so bad
I just wanted you to turn around and take my hand
I never wanted this to hurt so bad
I just wanted you to turn around
I wanted you to come back down
