Dusk Till Dawn
Nedry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i looked again at you today
and liked the person that i saw
this is how i wanted you to be
you played the game from dusk 'til dawn
you took the chance and risked it all
are you a better version of me?
it's funny how i have to feel
with one's ideal the other's real
so tell me is this how i'm supposed to be
you tried to follow what is right
tried everything to win the fight
can we overcome this ruleless night

i'll open up my eyes and see
the rules are there to set me free
i keep on chasing but the world won't let me be
they break me now but i'm still here
this light inside won't disappear
believe that my love is meant for something real

burning desires resilient minds
are up against your wall
content in silence in the end
would you rather have it all
but they don't mind so what's to hide
we've heard it all before
i guess there's just one knocking at your door

i'll open up your eyes and see
the rules are there to set us free
you keep on chasing but the world won't let you be
they break you now but you're still here
this light inside won't disappear
believe that your love is meant for something real

and everytime you feel the fall
we get back up, we face, we roll
disguised in blackness fate anew
the sun will rise to wash it through
together we can see it coming
the colours of once wilted end
will soon be walking on a dream again

i'll open up our eyes and see
the rules are there to set us free
we keep on chasing but the world won't let us be
they break us now but we're still here




this light inside won't disappear
believe that our love is meant for something real
