Undone
Kyle Lowder Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day to long, I've been missing you

Two days have gone

Since I've heard your voice

I've lost track of time

Since I've seen your smile and tasted your kiss

One step, One life

I count in my mind

Just settle down baby

I promise so will I

I've lost track of time

Since I've seen your smile and tasted your kiss

Chorus:

Smoke on the horizon late in the afternoon

Sunlight in my eyes and I wake up too soon

I fall down inside when I realize

Morning has come and we're still undone

The shape of your shadow dances on the wall

We're two broken leaves drifting in the fall

I've lost track of time

Since I've seen your smile and tasted your kiss

Smoke on the horizon late in the afternoon

Sunlight in my eyes and I wake up too soon

I fall down inside when I realize

Morning has come and we're still undone

I woke up wondering…what I'm doing?

Living and breathing without you

I can't go on, living and breathing

Just believing dreams do come true

Smoke on the horizon (late in the afternoon)

Sunlight in my eyes and I wake up too soon

I fall down inside when I realize

Morning has come…

Smoke on the horizon late in the afternoon

Sunlight in my eyes and I wake up too soon

I fall down inside when I realize

Morning has come and we're still undone
