Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It happened so much in the past days I don't no what to do
How can you call me your darling and next time you shout on me
I know it's time for a new starting so we both can again be free
Cities and woods are flying
I leave the world behind
People are talking and talking
Cause I'm on the road again
I'm on the ground again
I'm on the road again
I'm on the ground again
and I know I know I know I know
I'm gonna make it yeah
I feared If I'd be okay when I leave you and this time has come
So I drop the past and go on cause life is not waiting
I don't see the end of the road but it's okay cause I'm alright
This summer day is not old and I will travel into the night
Cities and woods are flying
I leave the world behind
People are talking and talking
But I don't mind
Cause I'm on the road again
I'm on the ground again
I'm on the road again
I'm on the ground again
and I know I know I know I know
I'm gonna make it yeah
Cities and woods are flying
I leave the world behind
People are talking and talking
But I don't mind
