Us
Parabelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will clean you with a little fire
Don't you know that's how you stay alive
In this night brings memories
That you still can't fight, still can't fight

And while you kill what's left, you free your soul
And I will ravage it when it lets go
And then you realize your on your own
Could you still survive, still survive

What changes us
We let our love get by
We never tried to stop
And what changes us
If you never stood for much
You're gonna fall in love in time

I will keep you for a little while
We'll take the past out of our minds
And if you never find a newer light
Will you still come home, still come home

What word makes you still stand out
It makes it trickle down out of your mouth
And I'm in love with a faulty touch
And I don't know how, I'm gonna run away

What changes us
We let our love get by
We never tried to stop
And what changes us
If you never stood for much
You're gonna fall in love in time

And why don't you wait for something more
Cause I don't know how, you still survive

And what changes us
We let our love get by
We never tried to stop
And what changes us
If you never stood for much
You're gonna fall in love

If you never stood for much
You're gonna fall in love in time, in time





And why don't you wait for something more
