Boomerang
Mammoth City Messengers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looks like things are getting a little bit out of hand
How will I dish it when I′m taking all that I can stand
It's clear I′ve got a right to make you understand my point
But will reaction really solve it all
Gotta make a choice

At the end
Pushed past where I can stand
Can I be different
I'm sure there's another way
To sort out what′s wrong today

I get back everything I do
Who I am to you
Is gonna come right back
You know when good or bad finds me I can see
It′s coming back at me
Life is a boomerang
(Boomerang)

Another day and here's a chance for me to do what′s right
What I believe gives me ideas to be a different light
And if I'm weak I know that he can understand my heart
And help me walk in love
Keep me going on when the road gets long
Want to be
Someone that he competes
And I′ll be different
When there's another way to live in the world today

I get back everything I do
Who I am to you
Is gonna come right back
You know when good or bad finds me I can see
It′s coming back at me
Life is a boomerang
(Boomerang)

(Life is a boomerang)

Life is a boomerang
Life is a boomerang

I get back everything I do
Who I am to you
Is gonna come right back
You know when good or bad finds me I can see
It's coming back at me
Life is a boomerang
(Boomerang)

I get back everything I do
Who I am to you
Is gonna come right back
You know when good or bad finds me I can see
It's coming back at me
Life is a boomerang
(Boomerang)

Life is a boomerang
Life is a boomerang




Life is a boomerang
Life is a boomerang
