Makk Mikkael Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let go all of the pieces fall from the get go
being with you was such a hassle
got so fucked up where did the time go

One step back from the ledge
cause I'm falling again
cause I'm falling again oh woah
one step back from the ledge

get you outta my head get you outta my head oh woah

she's always on my mind
been taking all my time
she's always on my mind

One step back from the ledge
cause I'm falling again
cause I'm falling again oh woah
one step back from the ledge
get you outta my head get you outta my head oh woah

she's always on my mind
been taking all my time
she's always on my mind

One step back from the ledge
cause I'm falling again
cause I'm falling again oh woah
one step back from the ledge
get you outta my head get you outta my head oh woah

she's always on my mind
been taking all my time
she's always on my mind

One step back from the ledge
cause I'm falling again
cause I'm falling again oh woah
one step back from the ledge
get you outta my head get you outta my head oh woah

she's always on my mind

been taking all my time
she's always on my mind
