Walking
Hush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking slow
Like a fool
Heard you moved on, yeah that's cool
I get all my days mixed up now
Better times
In the sun
Distorted moments now gone
I hope it was all worth the pain
I hope you don't drown in the rain
Didn't wanna see ya
Livin' in Reseda
Watchin' me chase my dreams and failin' miserably
Still I kind of wanna
Watch it play out, oh
Like a Tom Petty ballad
Bittersweet fall
Walking slow
Like a fool
Heard you moved on, ya that's cool
Didn't wanna see ya
Livin' in Reseda
Watchin' me chase my dreams and failin' miserably
Lost the dark of the night
It was my favorite part, I
Used to stare at the wall
Waiting for you to come through that door
I was selfish, I admit
I put you through some bullshit
But we were such a pair
I shoulda dropped it all and gone anywhere
Didn't wanna see ya
Livin' in Reseda
Watchin' me chase my dreams and failin' miserably
Still I kind of wanna
Watch it play out, oh
Like a Tom Petty ballad
Bittersweet fall
Walking slow
Like a fool
Heard you moved on, ya that's cool
Didn't wanna see ya




Livin' in Reseda
Watchin' me chase my dreams and failin' miserably
