Avalanche
Magnetico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we first met
You offered me to stay
Beautiful mountainside
On a silver tray

I never knew
I could climb so high
Just to trip and fall
Out of the sky

I discover, I love her
can't live without, live without
you uncover, I hate her
get away, get away from me

Waiting for her call
Insatiable desire
Collisions in my head
So cold I'm on fire

She holds my hand
An overwhelming rush
No matter where I stand
She's running through my blood

I discover, I love her
can't live without, live without
you, uncover, I hate her
get away, get away from me

My avalanche, crashing me down

I discover, I love her
can't live without, live without
you, uncover, I hate her
get away, get away from me





My avalanche, crashing me down
