still
Magnum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just when I think it can't get worse
And I'm sure, it's never going to work
You tell me everything's all right
And I know, you'll take away the hurt

No words of wisdom, no story's end
I don't understand you see
But I can't help myself, it's something I can't fight
That's the way it's going to be

Still
Hanging on, wait a lifetime for you
Hanging on, I'll be right there
Still
Hanging on, like the last time for you
Hanging on, some place, somewhere

When I wake up and you're not there
I reach out, there's nothing left behind
I wonder what I'm looking for
I should know, but there's nothing there to find

No words of wisdom, no story's end
I don't understand you see
But I can't help myself, it's something I can't fight
That's the way it's going to be

Still
Hanging on, wait a lifetime for you
Hanging on, I'll be right there
Still
Hanging on, like the last time for you
Hanging on, some place, somewhere

Hanging on, wait a lifetime for you
Hanging on, I'll be right there
Still

Pick me up
Take me away
Where you go
Beautiful day
Take me away
Over that rainbow
Out of the grey

Hanging on, wait a lifetime for you
Hanging on, I'll be right there
Still
Hanging on, I'll be right there
Hanging on, some place, somewhere

Still
Hanging on, wait a lifetime for you
I'll wait a lifetime for you
Hanging on, like the last time for you
Hanging on, I'll be right there
Still
Hanging on
