Unafraid
Jan Johnston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a pleasure so immense no words could tell you,
and in this love, i´ll be your temple,
with me alone, you´ll be complete
your emptiness wont ease the pain,
you no longer my story, someone should tell you,
yeah, i might fall into the road,
and hit my head, ?a season spent?
ooh, i´m, measuring your words, dont hesitate,
how cleverly you ramble
but its too late, the debt is paid,
desire´s gone, the light has died,
those golden moments, the colours fading,
the storm has left the tranquil earth,
my breathing slowing,
its obsolete,
there´s magic in each melting hour,
no, i cant resist, someone should tell you
i´m, balancing the curbs, so unafraid,
yeah, i might fall into the road,
and hit my head, ?a season spent?
ooh, i´m, measuring your words, dont hesitate,
how cleverly you ramble
but its too late, the debt is paid,
so unafraid, so unafraid
and in my hand is a faith
(so unafraid)
i´m, balancing the curbs, so unafraid,
yeah, i might fall into the road,
and hit my head, ?a season spent?
ooh, i´m, measuring your words, dont hesitate,
how cleverly you ramble
but its too late, so unafraid
so unafraid
yeah, i might fall into the road,
and hit my head, ?a season spent?
i´m, measuring your words, dont hesitate,
how cleverly you ramble
but its too late
i´m unafraid
