Jack and Jill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is gonna cave on itself
Leaving our masks, and pain on the shelf
But why does it hurt, to watch you let me go
You came in my life, and set me ablaze
My sight was so clear no more fog or a haze
It feels like I'm free, as we made our way over the hill
I said “With your hand in mine, we'll let ourselves go
cs we wait for whatever this world has to throw.”
It's a sunny afternoon, but you bring rain
These constant backtracking thoughts have me forgetting my own name
My heads caving in, I forgot who I am
cnd what came before
cnd I'm broken, and now I'm healing
cnd I can't do this anymore
I said “With your hand in mine, we'll let ourselves go,
cs we wait for whatever this world has to throw.”
It's a sunny afternoon, but you bring rain
These constant backtracking thoughts have me forgetting my own name
Oh
The stories end is unresolved, like a path that needs to be taken
So l'm sorry if my delivery is wrong, my initial thoughts have been mistaken
So as pages turn, and the final words are spoken
I feel the ending curtain close, this silence goes unbroken
It goes unbroken
I said “With your hand in mine, we'll let ourselves go
cs we wait for whatever this world has to throw.”
It's a sunny afternoon but you bring rain
These constant backtracking thoughts have me forgetting my own name
It's a sunny afternoon but you bring rain
These constant backtracking thoughts have me forgetting my own name
So Jack and Jill ran up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
cnd Jack fell down and broke his crown
cnd Jill came tumbling after

To fetch a pail of water
To retrieve a container of water
