See You Around
Johnny Edward Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To that song I wrote,
In the ground
Well, I go on and I feel the roses
Can't I pick you a flower for now?
Bring me home if you
Run your dreams to the ground
If my love still ain't
Good enough,
Then I guess I'll see you around
Now and then you feel real again,
You seem better than
I remember
And on your street
Where those shadows meet
I'll be waiting for you alive
Bring me home if you
Feel alone, if you
Run your dreams to the ground
If my love still ain't
Good enough,
Then I guess I'll see you around
Yeah!
Well, on that street
Where those shadows meet
Where the boys, they come and go
Well, I find faith
In the plans we made
And the light that keeps me awake
Bring me home if you
Feel alone, if you
Run your dreams to the ground
If my love still ain't
Good enough,
Then I guess I'll see you around
Well, I guess I'll see you around
