Sommerset
Leo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring down the road
I wonder where it's gonna end this time
Another episode
It's just a sequel to the one I left on Sommerset Drive
I'd love to say the flowers are the songs about you
The delivery was gone

But it's true
It's what you hoped for
You and I will share forever after
And it's true
It's what you hoped for
And I don't feel like flying

Where'd your smile go
It must be capturing the sun
I swear I saw it in your eyes
I miss the way you love
You used to save me from myself
When I couldn't find a light
I'd love to say the flowers are the songs about you
The delivery was gone

But it's true
It's what you hoped for
You and I will share forever after
And it's true
It's what you hoped for
And I don't feel like flying

She wonders through the fields
Thoughts in outer space
If everything would only be like it used to be
She laid down by the trees
Sighed the saddest face
If everything would only be like it used to be
She wonders through the fields




Thoughts in outer space
If everything would only be like it used to be
