Mountains
I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little by little I chipped away
From under the mountain of this weight
Call it out again
Don't be afraid of an avalanche
Something's happening
Don't want to get caught up in it
Would you believe that we're never coming down
Standing on the top screaming so loud
Wasn't that we got there was the journey with you
Would you believe that we're never coming down
Standing on the top screaming so loud
Wasn't that we got there was the journey with you
Climbing the steepest wall I've seen
Won't ever let go of that feeling
Call it out again
Don't be afraid of an avalanche
Something's happening
Don't want to get caught up in it
Would you believe that we're never coming down
Standing on the top screaming so loud
Wasn't that we got there was the journey with you
Would you believe that we're never coming down
Standing on the top screaming so loud
Wasn't that we got there was the journey with you
Would you believe that we're never coming down
Standing on the top screaming so loud
Wasn't that we got there was the journey with you
Would you believe that we're never coming down




Standing on the top screaming so loud
Wasn't that we got there was the journey with you
