Sooner or Later
Ozone Mama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You fell down from heaven but you turned my days to hell
I've broken every bone for your promises
Blown away by the wind in the cold light of day
I've lost myself on and on and I have nothing left to say

Oh I am holding onto something that fadin' away
But now I have a hundred reasons to keep you stay away
I wanna try to keep it all inside
To let it go away sooner or later

Took a ride on joy's highway throughout them shotgun skies
But lately I've found myself in a lonely town
Barefoot by the rainbow neverending love like hell
Feel so weak that you made me strong and I'm drowning in your well

Oh I am holding onto something that fadin' away
But now I have a hundred reasons to keep you stay away

I wanna try to keep it all inside
To let it go away sooner or later

Try... try... try...

Oh I am holding onto something that fadin' away
But now I have a hundred reasons to keep you stay away

I wanna try to keep it all inside
To let it go away sooner or later

I'm in a mood to cry
You feel the pain inside
When will we loose our minds?
Sooner or later

A hundred times I tried
To read between the lines




How many ways to say
I've found my way out
