ELEMENT
Mayfield Matthew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish I was watching you
In the daylight
A perfect view
This is always a favorite of mine.
Said I don't want to go
'Cause it means I'd have to throw
This element of mine inside
What if I don't want to be the lonely one?
The truth I know is this
I don't want to miss you more
Than I already do
I'm screaming
My lungs out
'Cause I'm wishing
You were here with me now
I'm impatient I apologize many times
But I'm human
And I'm selfish
Got the feeling
I should deal with this
But I'm hiding
Know one knows
they don't
So what if I don't want to be the lonely one?
The truth I know is this
I don't want to miss you more
Than I already do
At sunrise
I find a new releasing
And moonlight
Creeping sounds of you tonight
Are you finding?
I still need to know
That you find
Amusing memory
What if I don't want to be the lonely one?
The truth I know is this
I don't want to miss you more, oh
What if I don't want to be the lonely one?
The truth I know is this
I don't want to miss you more
Than I already do
Than I already do
