How Could You
Punchline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have you every little thing that I could
You had me singing forever
Just like I knew you would
I refuse to get a grip
What's the point when life is stripped more than it ever was
Its time to turn a leaf over but I don't see any trees or leave
Why set something free with no reason to let it go
It must not be meant to be
How could you do this to me
I have you every little thing that I could
You had me singing forever
Just like I knew you would
So you figure you'd stop by
Well I appreciate the push back to a point a
For a few days at least
When you figure it makes a fig out of you and re but
What's that really mean
It means you should leav
Why set it all free
With no reason to let it go
It must not be meant to be.
Wars Will Always Happen
Your vision is blurry but oh don't you worry
You know this place
And you said you could manage with eyes closed well
Now is the time to shine and save some lives
When the going gets tough
The going gets what you ask for
No mistakes and no regrets
The actions you make now they'll only reflect it
Boys, there is a war to win out there
We all know you're scared
But look around at all of their faces
They all look just like us
So all hail the king for trying
Running and racing to future to bury this more in the past
Instead of it being the last thing that happened
What happened
We had it
We thought that it was magic
Then the rabbits turned into maggots
And maggots feet are bad luck
When the going gets tough
You're going to get what you ask for
We can't have mistakes this time
If you're not ready then don't even try
Hold your breath
And don't forget
That wars will always happen
And we will always fight them

We are all human and we are all in this together
So all hail the king for trying
Let's acknowledge those who are stepping up and trying to make a difference
Running and racing to future to bury this more in the past
Trying to move forward and leave the past behind
Instead of it being the last thing that happened
Instead of letting the past define us
What happened
What went wrong?
We had it
Things used to be good
We thought that it was magic
We thought things would last forever
Then the rabbits turned into maggots
Something that was once good turned bad
And maggots feet are bad luck
Things have taken a turn for the worse
You're going to get what you ask for
You will get the results of your actions
We can't have mistakes this time
We need to be careful and not make mistakes
If you're not ready then don't even try
If you're not prepared, it's better not to attempt it
Hold your breath
Get ready for what's coming
And don't forget
Remember
That wars will always happen
There will always be challenges and difficult times
And we will always fight them
We will always try to overcome these challenges
