Nick Hissom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's seepin' through
That you're feelin' alone yeah
Alone yea
As you stare back for miles
I'm here with you
Cuz I'm always
A beat on your heart
And I know that you're sleepin' alone beside our photo frame
And you're wonderin' when I'll be home, someday
And I know it's cold as the storm rains down you're wanting me
But all you need to know is
No matter where you are
No matter where, I can see ya
Cuz you are the stars that I follow
You are the light that leads me
I guess you ponder that I've forgotten you
But you drift through my mind yeah,
Always
Don't you dream of my eyes, no, no
I'm seeing you all my life
Yeah
I'll come running back to you
We burn like a fire as we light up the room
I'm done with my lack of you
I'll be your hero to steer you through
Oh Oh I'm done I'm done missing you
Oh Oh I'm done
