Little Boy
No Comment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was your little secret
I was your little toy

I gave you heaven above
But then brought you down on earth
Somehow that wasn't enough
But we'll never climb up the stairs
My little boy, I'm not your toy anymore
But in the deepest night
When you whispered my name, we felt the same
My little boy, I'm not that coy anymore
But when the sun was dying
In the deepest night, we felt the same

I look in your eyes and I know
That these glances hurt you so
You'll realise and you'll see
That you can't live your life with me

We've been to all these unknown stations
We left the train somewhere to soon




We cancelled all our reservations
And ignored the rising of the moon
