You Never Said
ROAM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll run my mouth off like always do,
And say something ill later regret.
When reason takes out the poison,
I'm always on my own,
And in my bed.
So lets find a flaw and point it out for everyone to see,
We're all made of cracks and holes big enough to fit the sea.
You got it stuck up In your head that you need to fit a stereotype
Obey the rules grow up and live the rest of your life,
Predefined, that's fine, and now you fit in line
But then were all just the same.
I've had time to rest my head, it's temporary.
I tore the walls down in my head in hopes that I'd see clearly.
You never said we'd be on our own this soon again,
But I just hope I find some room to breathe.
Wide awake, from the caffeine that's kicked in,
I found myself, awake still and thinking.
I think fast but I'm moving slow
While everyone else gains ground and grows
I fee like one door opens just to get up my hopes
Another 10 slam shut and I'm back where I started from.
I'm back where I started from
I've had time to rest my head, it's temporary.
I tore the walls down in my head in hopes that I'd see clearly.
You never said we'd be on our own this soon again,
But I just hope I find some room to breathe.
I just hope I find some room to breathe again
You never said, That everyone thinks with their eyes and,
You never said, we wouldn't grow until we were on our own
You never said, how everyone's preoccupied with their own time,
and their own lives, you never...
I always take things too far but I think that just makes me human,
I never finish what I start but at least I know I will always be the same.




I'll run my mouth like I always do,
And I'm still wide awake.

They're pretty decent, but I'm really enjoying the resurgence of pop-punk/punk-rock (or any kind of alt-rock) bands at the moment in general.

Really hoping warped tour finds its way back to Australia.
