The Window
Rose & John Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep dropping tears down this window pane
I Been feeling so bummed
Over you
Keep chasing all these memories in my brain
Locked in the bathroom stall
I got time to lose
Cuz I just
Want to be with you

With you
Ohh yeah
I'm watching my tears as they hit the floor
Hoping no one hears if they
Walk through the door
But it's time to go back
I can't stay here
Have to hold back
All my fears
With a smile on my face
How could they have known
That I just
Want to be with you
With you
I just keep on running baby
I don't want no other
Other
I just keep on running baby
I don't want no
Other cuz
I just
Want to be with you
With you
Cuz I just

Want to be with you
With you
