white walls
MAINE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here's to this breath
And the one I hope we take next
It hurts to know
The hardest part
It hasn't come yet

Oh please try
To remind me
Just who you are
95' Just a child and his four white walls
Now that boy is a man
I don't know who I am

I'm just a kid
Don't walk away
Please don't walk away
I don't think I'll make it through today
If you Walk away
Please don't walk away

Here's to this love
We didn't earn, yet we're taking
To the same love
That's 30 years in the making
With a thousand more to come

Oh please try
To remind me
Just who you are
1990, a child, and his four white walls
Now that boy is a man
I don't know who I am

I'm just a kid
Don't walk away
Please don't walk away
I don't think I'll make it through today
If you Walk away

I'm just a kid
Don't walk away
Please don't walk away
I don't think I'll make it through today
If you Walk away
Please don't walk away

We bleed the same blood
You and me
We bleed the same blood
The way that the river runs through
I bleed for you

We bleed the same blood
You and me
We bleed the same blood
The way that the river runs through
I bleed for you


We bleed the same blood
You and me
We bleed the same blood
The way that the river runs through
I bleed for you


We bleed the same blood
You and me
We bleed the same blood
The way that the river runs through
I bleed for you

I bleed for you




I bleed for you
I bleed for you
