K.U. STREET SPRING Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is no side you're on
Only a great open divide
I cannot get around
And what you say you want
Is never closer to the truth
We're in flight
Out of heaven now

And down to earth we spiral
A turn into what we'd die for
Each day a new denial
Each day we set a different fire

I see no future now
I see us counting down the days
Always
Looking for the out
Not what we say we want
But love is throwing us away
Cannot stay
Turned around

Our fate harder now to swallow

Line by Line Meaning

There is no side you're on
You're not taking a side

Only a great open divide
Instead, there is an insurmountable divide between us

I cannot get around
I can't ignore it or fix it with ease

And what you say you want
The things you say you want

Is never closer to the truth
Are never more than just words

We're in flight
We're moving forward quickly

Out of heaven now
But it's like we're falling out of grace

And down to earth we spiral
We continue to fall, spiraling out of control

A turn into what we'd die for
As we fall, we continue to chase our ideals and aspirations.

Each day a new denial
Each day we're forced to confront our inability to bridge the divide and achieve our goals

Each day we set a different fire
We stubbornly continue making new efforts
