Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been afraid of what we'll find we go together
Shine, shine, shine on forever
Turn this night over we'll find a way
Draw in the night the future's sharpening we have each other
Like hanging ice slender frame of white we have each other
Shine, shine, shine on forever
Turn this night over we'll find a wayShine, shine, shine on forever
Turn this night over we'll find a way
I want to love you but I've been afraid to
I would ride the ups and downs to you
I want to love you break all of my walls through
I would ride the ups and downs to you
Here in the dark with your hands in mine we go together
I'm not afraid of what we'll find we go together
Shine, shine, shine on forever
Turn this night over we'll find a way
Shine, shine, shine on forever
Turn this night over we'll find a way
I want to love you but I've been afraid to
I would ride the ups and downs to you
I want to love you break all of my walls through
I would ride the ups and downs to you

This isn't bad, as an avid listener to metal genre's, I honestly think it's really cool to have these guys around. I like the indie elements (if that appeals to any of you)
@treverp4938
I think it's cool that Sumerian is signing bands/artists like these guys. As long as the majority of the bands are metal
@Llova1
Saw these guys at warped yesterday, my dad found the lead and talked a while about radio work and musical influences.
Super nice guy, they gave a great performance :)

@guitardds
Some of their songs have such an OIngo Boingo feel to them. This is one of them. Singer sounds a lot like Danny Elfman at times.
