This Evening
Idle Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am wasting borrowed time
This evening
I'm your restless alibi
Believe me
You can trust me when I lie
Decieve me
It's not my fault
It's not my fault
It's not my fault
That I'm stripped away
From the pain that binds me
And the fear
Of the past
Reminding, the pain
This evening
I your standing broken bridge
Release me
Break that hold you have on this, life
It's not my fault
It's not my fault
It's not my fault
That I'm stripped away
From the pain that binds me
And the fear
Of the past
Reminding, the pain
The pain
To come and call on me again
And again
I'm waiting for it
But I cannot believe it again
I'm searching for an easy way out
So stay out of it
It's not my fault
It's not my fault
It's not my fault
It's not my fault
That I'm stripped away
From the pain that binds me
And the fear
Of the past
Reminding, the pain
The pain
The pain (pain that binds me)
The pain (past reminding)
To come and call on me again
And again

Tonight
I your standing broken bridge
I'm the unstable thing holding you up

The pain that's keeping me down
The pain (past reminding)
The pain of the past coming back to haunt me
To come and call on me again
To come back and bother me once more
And again
Again and again

It's heartbreaking.... Mike was such a nice guy. I always hoped that Idle Sons would get back together but now we'll never get that. I hope he's happy wherever he is now. RIP MIKE
