Together
Nick Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All out of time what will you do?
I've made up my mind, I'll empty this glass for you.
Paraded you back you were too good.
Whatever we had misunderstood.
Don't run?????
Am I strong enough to see this through?
Is it on my face that I feel like breaking?
You know my head is tired,
And my hands are shaking.
Is it everything you thought it'd be?
Do you see yourself when you look at me?
You know we got to keep this thing together.
We gotta keep it together.
You're out of your mind for telling me
All that you find will make you see.
It's only a sign that gets you to pass for me.
Where ever I go is where you should.
I know that you know you said you would.
If only to show you love me.
Am I strong enough to see this through?
Is it on my face that I feel like breaking?
Long enough to know what's true.
You know my head is tired,
And my hands are shaking.
Is it everything you thought it'd be?
Do you see yourself when you look at me?
You know we got to keep this thing together.
Am I strong enough to see this through?
Is it on my face that I feel like breaking?
Long enough to know what's true.
You know my head is tired,
And my hands are shaking.
Is it everything you thought it'd be?
Do you see yourself when you look at me?
You know we got to keep this thing together.
Gotta keep it together, gotta keep it together, gotta keep it together.
