Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Saying goodbye 'cause you're giving it up)
(All that you were, all that you lost)
(Who ever thought it came with a cost?)
We were alone, we were to blame
Alive with the same blood in our veins
I never thought to find a way here
To the fate of the thing searching forward to me
All the world to be seen as it's all passing by
Fucking around, I'm falling in love
Saying goodbye 'cause you're giving it up
All that you were, all that you lost
Who ever thought it came with a cost?
I ran to you, I ran to you
I ran to you and you know why
I ran to you, I ran to you
I ran to you and you know why
Love the way you read my eyes
I love the way you read my eyes
To the fate of the thing searchin' forward to me
When it's finally seen all the love in your eyes
Well, I should've known it, how the world disappeared
When you came around, when you came around
When you came around
When you came around, you came around
Fucking around, I'm falling in love
Saying goodbye 'cause you're giving it up
All that you were, all that you lost
Who ever thought it came with a cost?
I ran to you, I ran to you
I ran to you and you know why
I ran to you, I ran to you
I ran to you and you know why
Love the way you read my eyes
I love the way you read my eyes
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh oh
Ooh, ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh oh
Ooh, ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh oh
Ooh, ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh oh
Ooh, ah, ah, ah

Fucking around, I'm falling in love
Engaging in casual acts, but unexpectedly feeling love towards someone
Saying goodbye 'cause you're giving it up
Ending a relationship after one person decides to give up on it
All that you were, all that you lost
Reflecting on one's past and the things they have let go
Who ever thought it came with a cost?
Surprised at the price of letting go of past experiences
We were alone, we were to blame

Alive with the same blood in our veins
Connected by blood despite differences and past mistakes
I never thought to find a way here
Unexpectedly ended up in a particular situation with no plans
Well, you can't plan for this one, it's nothing compared
The situation is too unique and unpredictable to plan for
To the fate of the thing searching forward to me
Looking towards the future and the inevitability of fate
All the world to be seen as it's all passing by
Realizing that everything in the world keeps moving forward
I ran to you, I ran to you
Acted impulsively to be close to someone
Love the way you read my eyes
Appreciating someone's ability to understand unspoken emotions
When it's finally seen all the love in your eyes
Recognizing love in someone else's eyes after some time
Well, I should've known it, how the world disappeared
Realizing how much someone means to you and everything else fades into insignificance
When you came around, when you came around
Feeling a significant shift in life when someone new arrives
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh oh

Ooh, ah, ah, ah
Repetition of sounds for musical purposes
