The Grind
Lost Autumn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long road and it's taken it's toll.
Though I never sold my soul, I'm so close to my goal.

And I've told you, over and over, again, I'm not going down, this time.
And I've stumbled, many times over, yet, I, launch myself into the grind.
So, don't give up, just give it time.

So much left to go, but I love playing my role.
The music makes us whole, it brightens a world so cold.

And I've told you, over and over, again, I'm not going down, this time.
And I've stumbled, many times over, yet, I, launch myself into the grind.
So, don't give up, just give it time.

Oh, oh and I've told you, over and over, again, I'm not going down, this time.




And I've stumbled, many times over, yet, I, launch myself into the grind.
So, don't give up, just give it time.
