It's You
Jaron Utt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't have reason to grow old
I'd hope that you would tell me so
You hold the world I know you can
I'll drop the world to hold your hand
Paint don't make the water blue
The weatherman he never tells the truth
Everything that I know and what I don't
Everything that I've asked for you to show
Doesn't change the feeling in my bones
Cause I have hurt and I have seen the ugly side
I have lost the memory of a fathers eyes
I have help on tighter to the lies
But I know, I know it's you
These hills they are a sight to see
These hills will be the death of me
Come fill my dying lungs with air
Come fill them so I know you care
Paint don't make the water blue
The weatherman he never tells the truth
Everything that I know and what I don't
Everything that I've asked for you to show
Doesn't change the feeling in my bones
Cause I have hurt and I have seen the ugly side
I have lost the memory of a fathers eyes
I have help on tighter to the lies
But I know, I know it's you
Everything that I know and what I don't
Everything that I've asked for you to show
Doesn't change the feeling in my bones
Cause I have hurt and I have seen the ugly side
I have lost the memory of a fathers eyes
I have help on tighter to the lies




But I know, I know it's you
I know, I know it's you
