Riot
Matt Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn't stop my heart from finding you
Mountain tops, and the brigade
Couldn't stop my heart from finding you
You start a riot, a perfect violence
I feel the fire burning through
I'm standing riot, I won't keep quiet
I risk it all to be with you
'Cause you're never far away from me,
No, I'm never far away from you
But you're the heart I'm chasing,
Give me your heart, I'll break it
Hear the sirens, I'm not scared, no no no
You start a riot, a perfect violence
I feel the fire burning through
I'm standing riot, I won't keep quiet
I risk it all to be with you
You start a riot, a perfect violence
I feel the fire burning through
I'm standing riot, I won't keep quiet
I risk it all to be with you
'Cause you're never far away from me,
No, I'm never far away from you
But you're the heart I'm chasing,
Give me your heart, I'll break i
Hear the sirens, I'm not scared, no no no
Wouldn't you say you've found your way?
I know you
The sky is grey through all the haze,
I see you
and I won't leave this place, no, not without you
Bombs away, take away
'Cause you're never far away from me,
No, I'm never far away from you
But you're the heart I'm chasing,
Give me your heart, I'll break it
Hear the sirens, I'm not scared, no no no
