The Helicopter Song
Monster Paws Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We make it work for a while
Then it falls through the cracks
You say it's time to move on
Not a time to look back

Feels so misleading
Our chemistry is fleeting
Lost and retreating
And now i'm drinking again

So i move on for a while
Then i'm stopped in my tracks
I hear you voice on the phone
And it's calling me back

Now i remember
That night on a bender
Called you in tears and your voice was so tender

You'll always have my heart
You wear it on your sleeve
And though we're worlds apart
Know that we'll always be
You'll always have my soul
You wear it on a pin
It always gives me hope
Someday we'll be again

Oh god it's been a while
I see you out on the town

I tried to shoot you a smile
And you just shot me down

Now an evasion
Ends two equations
I know you'll be back love
Cuz i'm not impatient

I'm leaving town for a while
I'm going to iraq
Ok love that's a lie
I just want you back

You keep denying
But i'll keep on trying
You've got the arms
That i know i'm gonna die in

You'll always have my heart
You wear it on your sleeve
And though we're worlds apart
Know that we'll always be
You'll always have my soul
You wear it on a pin




It always gives me hope
Someday we'll be again
