Late
Kaveh Kanes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to forget
I want you to liberate
All the human kind feeling
And build your own cemetery
I will come to your house
I will come to your place
Burning all the computers
That will make you feel better

We all want you to come
We all want you to play
But you never come in here
And throw another alibi
You said it's all too late
You said it's all too late
But the only things you've done
Is stay inside your own shell

Well I tell you my friend
Well I tell yoy my friend




That's a great big world out there
Waiting for you to come out
