Fragile
Kamera Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Afternoon, early september
We're on our way
Looking back, what was it you said?
We can never go back
Tumbling by, early september
we're on our way, we're well under way
You're by my side, you're asleep
I'm alone

We gotta be careful
We gotta be sure
this city is not what it once was
It's something different now,
This love is fragile
This love is fragile

Looking out, it still looks like summer
We're on our way
This is no worse, it's just something else
We can never go back
It's been a year and a half,
How does it find you?
We're on our way, we're still on our way
Are you scared? I'm not scared
We're not alone

We gotta be careful
We gotta be sure
this city is not what it once was
It's something different now,
This love is fragile

We're not getting any younger than this
We're not getting any younger than this
No one's getting any younger

We gotta be careful
We gotta be sure
this city is not what it once was
It's something different now,
This love is fragile

We gotta be careful
We gotta be sure
this city is not what it once was
Things are different now,

This love is fragile
This love is fragile
