Desiree
Radiodriveby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were just kids
We were just living from day to day
And i wish that was the way
Things could've stayed

Well you just couldn't hang around
You packed your bags and left this town
And all i have that's left of you
Are the words you said
That guide me through and through

Don't take a moment for granted
Life is short
So cherish every second of it
And take your time through every day
Last but not least
I'm begging you please
Don't forget me
On your way through everyday

Eight years later and i'm all grown up
And i just wish you could've stuck around
But i know you're looking down
And i hope you're feeling proud of what you see
Your spirit is constantly, constantly
Whispering your revelations in my ear and
You said
You said
You said

Don't take a moment for granted
Life is short
So cherish every second of it
And take your time through every day
Last but not least
I'm begging you please
Don't forget me
On your way through everyday

Desiree

Don't take a moment for granted
Life is short
So cherish every second of it
And take your time through every day
Last but not least
I'm begging you please




Don't forget me
On your way through everyday
