New song
Name Taken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So walk away from the places that you've come to call home
Leave us and this wreck behind, learn to breath on your own
For beneath a failed routine there must be a new song
And I will watch you sing even though you're gone
For below the sky, under the sun facing the tide
This beach is clear and alone as I
Wondering where did you go tonight
And if how you left was right, giving up without goodbye
Then why does it still feel like you ran away
So walk away to keep yourself safe,
where no one will be pressuring you to smile
And I'll miss you when you're gone
And we'll miss you when you're walking away
And I'm still listening for that voice, to hear you sing
A sign that you're ok
Because I miss you now
How can you say you're happy now?
Why couldn't you just stay?
So glad to hear that you're standing strong,
facing a new hope so fresh to you
And any time that you ever felt like home,
I'll remember your new song and how it drowned me out




Because now I'm singing too, screaming at the top of my lungs
" You look so better off, you look so better off standing strong"
