Phenom
Iris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it's late, I won't tire
I'll find a new escape

And from on high
From heaven's gate
I hear the voice of fate

You're a starting place
Phenom
Never weeding in
Only weed out
You're a starting place
Phenom
Where do we begin
Our fun

In this life I have no worry
I never hesitate

And from on high
Explore the space
I'm all about the chase

You're a starting place
Phenom
Never weeding in
Only weed out
You're a starting place
Phenom




Where do we begin
Our fun
