Lucia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Using all the words
Each and every letter
Never been so scared
Turning into you

Climbing up the walls
Running's so much better
Feeling like a traitor

You are the place I run to
You are the storm
But I go on
Don't let me down this time
You're keeping me alive

You are my youth
When I'm old
You are the one to bring me up
Don't let me down this time
Don't let me down

I swear I'll like your clothes
Laugh at all your bad jokes
Go everywhere you want
And be the one who loves

Falling off the walls
Will you be remembered
Staying's so much better

Won't you come?

You are the place I run to
You are the storm
But I go on
Don't let me down this time
You're keeping me alive

You are my youth
When I'm old
You are the one to bring me up
Don't let me down this time
Don't let me down

You're the place I run to
You're the storm I go through
You're my youth when I'm old
Don't let me down

You are the place I run to
You are the storm
But I go on
Don't let me down this time
You're keeping me alive

You are my youth
When I'm old
You are the one to bring me up
Don't let me down this time
Don't let me down





You're the place I run to
