Don't look back
Making April Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're getting weak in your decisions
The ones that wake you just to say goodnight
And there's nowhere to run from them this time
If there's nothing I can say to break you free of all your fears
Then why am I still here
Well there's that charming face you wear so well
And I know that you don't wanna stay
So why don't you just pack up and come with me

You've gotta hold on now
Don't let your eyes look down
When we're gone from here this wont feel lost at all

And there's not a day that I can say that I've
Been playing every card that I've been dealt
But I know how it feels and how you felt
When the world was at your back and things were never stacked up right
But you put up a fight
There's a light that peers through darkening skies
And I know that you wanna be free
So why don't you spread your wings and fly with me

You've gotta hold on now
Don't let your eyes look down
When we're gone from here this wont feel lost at all
You've gotta hold on now (you think that I've got it wrong)
Wont let our lives touch ground (but this is where I belong)
I've been hoping you would just come through
With the days you said that
We'd be on our way back
To the ones we knew so little of this year, yeah yeah yeah

You've gotta hold on now
Don't let it all come down
When we're gone from here this wont feel lost at all

You're wishing me all of the best
I just wish you would drop your regrets




And come back to this place I know
Will be the place you can never let go

An Ocean away

Still listening to this album, way under rated!!! Where’d these guys go?! Time for some new material pretty please🙏

I Sold Your Dog To A Chinese Restaurant

They disbanded some time ago, and Sean has since formed a band known as Smallpools. They're like an Indie Rock kinda deal. Catchy stuff, and their drummer kicks ass. If it sounds like your cup of tea, totally check em' out :).
