Haunted
Mentum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s all a hiss
I've been dazed before
But not like this
I′ll keep you close in sight
Don't want it to fade
The feeling of relief from the hands I played
I chose the way of letting go
You chose the way that left me haunted
Got no chances left to blow
This is all I've ever wanted
I chose the way of letting go
You chose the way that left me haunted
I chose the way of letting go
You chose the way that left me haunted
Wherever I go
I always feel haunted, haunted
Wherever I go
I always feel haunted, haunted
Shaking off the dust
That′s been all over me
Wanna take you out and show you all that we can be
Just wanna jump into it
Spontaneous trips and love
And if you choose to stay
We′ll go higher and above
I chose the way of letting go
You chose the way that left me haunted
Got no chances left to blow
This is all I've ever wanted
Looking closely as we′re fading
Drifting from the act we've set in
Watching from afar we′re fading
Drifting from within, I'm shaking
Wherever I go
I always feel haunted, haunted
Wherever I go
I always feel haunted, haunted
Wherever I go
I always feel haunted, haunted
Wherever I go
I always feel haunted, haunted
