Somewhere Only We Know
Miki Ratsula Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river, and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
So, if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know, oh
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
So, if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about somewhere only we know
This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go
So why don't we go
Ohhh, Ohhh
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
