Crawl
Jack Frost Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

oh, you burned my soul
oh, you did so
all my soul is crawling back to you

I know I hurt you
as deep as no one could do
no matter I apologize to you

oh, I did so
the worst crime I know
no matter I apologize to you

[Chorus:]
you find me everyday
I'm sad in every way

I wanted you to stay
all my soul is crawling back to you
