New Day
Mкlйe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
come light my life like you said you can
with the windows open
all the spirits fly away
pull the wings off
a bird that cannot fly
and ill make you feel the pain of where she lies
for broken hands and breaking backs
this is a new day
for lover's hands and fighting hands(2x)
to finally be set free, from tragedy
Morning sunshine
come light my life like you said you can
and ill give you all the time that we need now
to figure out where we can go just to be alone'cause this is a new day
for broken hands and breaking backs
this is a new day
for lover's hands and fighting hands(2x)
to finally be set free, from tragedy
and ill watch you wash your body clean of all the things you wish you'd never seen
'cause this is a new day
for broken hands and breaking backs
this is a new day
for lover's hands and fighting hands(2x)
to finally be set free
i cast these stones upon you my broken hands
i cast these stones upon my soul
my ghost will carry me home, carry me into a brand new day
'cause this is a new day
for broken hands and breaking backs
this is a new day
for lover's hands and fighting hands(2x)
to finally be set free, from tragedy
