Island View Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's in the other room, I dug until I found the root
It's nice to have you back my friend, can't say how much I missed you so
We won't let this happen again, we can't let this happen again
I woke up quick this morning, not feeling empty something jumped
Erupted inside me, my heart exploded into now
And now it's a fresh start, we'll take it on together
We won't let this happen again, we can't let this happen again
