Our Last Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Full of despair
Inside a darkness
Self conscious and scared
Held prisoner of war
Running out of air
Buried in a sadness
Want a way out
Of this paralyzing world

And the sound of the cries
When a family's loved one dies
It echoes through a vacant room
Where a young soul still resides

When the night is cold
And you feel like no one knows
What it's like to be the only one
Buried in this hole

You can make it to the sunrise
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa
You can make it to the sunrise
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa

Searching for a way
To escape the madness
A dire need for change
As we fight for better days
The hurt and the pain
Cut deep like a razor blade
Holding in a cry for love
Abandoned and afraid

When the night is cold
And you feel like no one knows
What it's like to be the only one
Buried in this hole

You can make it to the sunrise
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa
You can make it to the sunrise
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa

I won't go to my grave
Until a difference is made

I won't go to my grave
Until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)

When the night is cold
And you feel like no one knows
What it's like to be the only one
Buried in this hole

You can make it to the sunrise
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa
You can make it to the sunrise
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa

I won't go to my grave
Until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)
Until a difference is made

From time to time
There arise among human beings
People who seem to exude love




As naturally as the sun
Gives out heat

Our Last Night Lyrics
"Sunrise"

Full of despair inside a darkness
Self conscious and scared, held prisoner of war
Running out of air, buried in a sadness
Want a way out of this paralyzing world
And the sound of the cries when a family's loved one dies
It echoes through a vacant room where a young soul still resides

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

Searching for a way to escape the madness
A dire need for change as we fight for better days
The hurt and the pain cut deep like a razor blade
Holding in a cry for love, abandoned and afraid

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)
Until a difference is made

(From time to time, there arise among human beings,
people, who seem to exude love, as naturally as the sun gives out heat.)

[Chorus]
When the night is cold and you feel like no one knows what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise (whoa, whoa, whoa)
You can make it to the sunrise (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Searching for a way to escape the madness
A dire need for change as we fight for better days
The hurt and the pain cut deep like a razor blade
Holding in a cry for love
Abandoned and afraid
