Nights
Makk Mikkael Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nights keep on falling I′m calling waves keep on crashing I'm missin
Miss it when you say you want me but you don′t
I don't wanna start up again even though I back out can't win
Even though your stuck in my head

Late night trippin when I wake up ain′t right
Get high higher then clouds in the sky
You say that I′m crazy all the time but

I don't feel fine since you left my side
You don′t wanna talk just a little
Don't think ill be fine on my own
Nothing else matters anyway no more
Ya waking up to you it don′t exist no more no
Hold onto me hold onto me i'm not the same as i used to be
Hold onto me hold on when the lights go out and theres no one home

Nights keep on falling I′m calling waves keep on crashing I'm missin
Miss it when you say you want me but you don't
I don′t wanna start up again even though I back out can′t win
Even though your stuck in my head

Make my way back to you
Back to all you put me through
Was it ever even simple
Make my way back to you
Back to all you put me through
Was it ever even simple

Nights keep on falling I'm calling waves keep on crashing I′m missin
Miss it when you say you want me but you don't

I don′t wanna start up again even though I back out can't win
Even though your stuck in my head
