Diamonds
Kevin Krauter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing control and falling faster everyday
Feels like life′s just a speeding train
Don't know where I'm going to, but I know it′s far away
There it is
Can′t change my world
But I can live in it or die trying
These days just fall in line like strings of white diamonds
Just make the call babe and I'll meet you there
Don′t mind the distance I'll go with you anywhere
Choose the place and I′ll choose the time
I'd risk it all to chase this feeling every night
