Say
Nostalgia and Aami Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleepy every morning
But promise me, darling
Don't throw away everything
I know you want your wings
And i doubt you'll miss a thing
But just stay with me, darling
I know apathy can be
Incredibly wounding
But please stay with me, darling
I can try to be a feeling
I'll try my best to keep you
Company
Hopefully you'll stay with me but
If you don't that's fine
If you're really leaving
And you decide to grow your wings
You know I'll be visiting
At the cemetery grieving
Wishing that i could see
That angel here with me
One day I'll grow my wings
And see you one bright evening
Until then i will put your picture
On my wall
A picture says a thousand words
Your portrait says much more
Than the amount in this song
