Brush it Off
Plan Three Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooooh
You make them wild now
You make them lost now
You're in the zone

Ooooh
You make them want you
Oh how I want you, not to go

But everything comes falling down
The silhouette, a smile or frown
And anytime,
All we do is wrong

And I need you, but then what?
And I leave you, but then what?
Once again, I stand here corrected
Thinking it's too soon, to have it all
Hard enough to know, what I really want
I start changing with everything around me
I brush it off

Ooooh
I'm walking wires
Over a train crash
I'm holding on
And you, you make me useless
You left me senseless
You lead me on

But please go on, it feels so good

I need this pain, it's understood
That everytime
All we do is wrong

And I need you, but then what?
And I leave you, but then what?
Everytime, I stand here corrected
Thinking it's too soon, to have it all
Hard enough to know, what I really want
I start changing with everything around me

I was here
Still more then once
It's carved into my mind
Well I was here, you were out of reach
Still somehow scars my memory

I'm still here, though always behind
I need to know, will I do right this time
Not anyone, takes a lie

I brush it off, then what?

Everytime, I stand here corrected
Hope it hits you hard, if it hits at all




Till you finally know, what you really want
Maybe then, I'll be gone forever

Words can not explain what emotions I felt shoot through to my soul when I heard this. This should be on every radio station in the country!

Finding that certain song that fills you body and soul is like finding a rare gem in a mountain of rocks. You must first find the vein of crystals that might lead you to a deep pocket of quality gems. it may only be one like a diamond in the rough but when you find it the gem/song/band is priceless. This is one of those songs hope every music lover on my page gives it a listen
