The Tunnel
Lovehammers/Marty Casey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wait for me
And I'll be coming home soon
And when you cry your eyes I'll remember
Stare at me
I can hypnotize you
Keep calling
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
I will stay true
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
Till I find you
And the distance has been murder
On my mind
Can't see you with my own eyes
If you decide to get with another
Remember who
I'm the one that loves you
Always
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
I will stay true
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
Till I find you
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
Can you hear me
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
'Cause you're disappearing
If I could just go back
One more time
I'd hold on and never let go
Just go back
One more time
I'd never let, never let you go
And there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Wait for me
And I'll be coming home soon
You have to die to get discovered
Peek-a-boo
I see you through the exit wound
Keep calling
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
I will stay true
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
Till I find you
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
Can you hear me
Keep calling, keep calling, keep calling
'Cause you're disappearing
Well I found your hiding places
In the bedroom, in the basement
Like a scared child under the blankets
No one knows you like I know you
They'll try to control you like I told you
They'll try to control you
No, no, no, no!
