Broken Bones
Rev Theory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking a fine line between wrong and right
And I know
There is a part of me that I try to hide
But I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside

[Chorus: ]
Now I am calling
Hoping you'll hear me
We all need somebody
To believe in something
And I won't fear this
When I am falling
We all need somebody
That can mend these broken bones

Caught in the confines of the simple life
And I am
Holding my head high in the rising tide
And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside

[Chorus: ]

But oh
Yeah

I'm not coming home now
I know
I'm so far away
So far from home
I'm not coming home now
I know
I'm so far away
I'm so far away

And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight

[Chorus: ]

[Repeat 2X]
And I can't win
And I can't fight

I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside
