now
Luke Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want to know how you feel right now
Dagger shaped heart as cold as ice
And i've been hearing more and more and more about myself
Well I just want to know where you want to go
This is taking a little longer than you need to know
Sometime can you hold me now
Well if you leave me here for one more day
I'm gonna see you a whole new way
It's true
As you hide behind your morals
Hide behind your limelight, shine bright
No-one knows your out tonight
And let me go
Cos you're bursting my bubble and I'm never gonna want to be here
And you can stay here any time you want dear
Let me get through there, I have to see you later on dear
Cos it's you that means the game is on dear
And now you're off with him
And I guess I've got to ask
Cos I just want to know how you feel right now
Dagger shaped heart as cold as ice
And i've been hearing more and more and more about myself
Well I just want to know where you want to go
This is taking a little longer than you need to know
Sometime can you hold me now
Sometime can you hold me, hold me
Sometime can you hold me, hold me




'time can you hold me, hold me
'time can you hold me, hold me
