Arrows Crossed
Major League Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could change your mind, I'd rewrite the world in better times
I'd leave the doubt behind, I know it's hard but you gotta try
And I hope some day, they'll sing your name
Those birds outside, there minds are caged
There told were go, told what to say
Without ever a chance, to find their own way

Rest easy now my friend, the best has to come
We all breaks bones when we grow up, but eventually we all grow numb
It's undeserving game, day to day it's all the same
These kids condition with no names, their painted pictures with no frames

Time bomb ticking and it's ready to blow,
I know that any given moment that it's set to explode

There's a devil inside of everyone, you just have choose who's worth your time
So many villains in the world, I've seen a few, all of them mine
So take your advice, and follow your dreams
I hope that you find, some faith in me and what this really means

Rest easy now my friend, the best has to come
We all breaks bones when we grow up, but eventually we all grow numb
It's undeserving game, day to day it's all the same
These kids condition with no names, their painted pictures with no frames

Rest easy now my friend, the best has to come
We all breaks bones when we grow up, but eventually we all grow numb
It's undeserving game, day to day it's all the same
These kids condition with no names, their painted pictures with no frames

Time bomb ticking and it's ready to blow,
I know at any given moment that it's set to explode
Time bomb ticking and it's ready to blow,
I know at any given moment that it's set to explode

Time bomb ticking and it's ready to blow,
I know at any given moment that it's set to explode
Your heartbeat skips at an irregular pace,




The problems nothing vital, easily replaced
Don't bite off more than you can chew
