Giants
Luke James Shaffer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've got it down to a science
Because it takes one to know one baby
My heart beats and my hands are shaking
Go ahead and call my crazy, I've been here before
But I walk around with those giants
Oh you gotta watch yourself from walking over coals
You gotta keep and eye over your shoulder
Go go go
I've been taming these lions
And I made this coal into diamonds
Because it takes one to know one baby
My heart beats and my hands are shaking
You go ahead and call my crazy, I've been here before
But I've been taming these lions
Oh you gotta watch yourself from walking over coals
You gotta keep and eye over your shoulder
Oh every moment is just one step closer
Go go go
Oh you gotta watch yourself from walking over coals
You gotta keep and eye over your shoulder
Oh every moment is just one step closer
Go go go
Oh you gotta watch yourself from walking over coals
You gotta keep and eye over your shoulder
Oh every moment is just one step closer
Go go go
