White Flag
Razor Red Noise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seemed so true and now it's wrong
Somehow I let you see
Straight into me
We could be so known
If you would just let me
Show you how I really am
Hide in the shadows
Someday we will end this war
White flags and roses on your name
Someday I won't let this go
I won't let this go
We could be so known
If you would just let me
Show you how I really am
Hide in the shadows
Walking this road
You could be so much more than this
I can feel it inside
You could be so much more than this
I can feel it inside
We could be so known
If you would just let me
Show you how I really am
Hide in the shadows
Walking this road
We could be so known
If you would just let me
Show you how I really am
Hide in the shadows
Walking this road
