Vaulted Ceilings
Memphis May Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't have to know me
To know that you're lost
Just know that I don't mind
I don't mind
And you don't have to see me
To know that I'm right
By your side
Just know I will never leave you
My child
Follow me follow me
If you have no place to go
I will guide you home
Follow me follow me
If you're at the end of your road
Just take my hand and never let go

Your vaulted ceilings are
Of no comparison to the sky
Won't you let me show you out

Follow me follow me
If you have no place to go
I will guide you home
Follow me follow me
If you're at the end of your road
Just take my hand and never let go

Reach to let go
I'd never leave you or forsake you




Reach to let go
I'd never leave you I'd never leave you

I'm pretty sure that half of the views on this are from me by now.  I have listened to this song at least once a day for about 4 years.
