Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you and I are no more the same
They say you miss the shots you don't take
In your words
Can't repeat old mistakes
Can't repeat old mistakes
In your words
Walking in your shoes
Talk to me confused
And I'll dance
While your plotting to advance
From me again
Have a little decency friend
I'm a shadow of a lover
Just another soul to upend
Have a little decency Tess
Walking in your shoes
In spite of your heart
Talk to me confused
And I'll dance
While your plotting to advance
From me again
Have a little decency friend
I'm a shadow of a lover
Just another soul to upend
Have a little decency Tess
Walking in your shoes
In spite of your heart
Talk to me confused
And I'll dance
While your plotting to advance
From me again
Have a little decency friend
I'm a shadow of a lover
Just another soul to upend
Have a little decency Tess
And I'll dance
While your plotting to advance
from me again
Have a little decency friend
