How To Go To Confession
Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's your love I crave to know
Before I stand here buried
In this unforgiving snow
Love me good, oh, love me please
But I'm pleased to know you at all
Pull me out before I'm gone
But please don't let me fall
Fall asleep, but not for long
Your dreams are in your hands
Handle them gracefully
But don't let them sift like sand
Sing of love and sing of none
Remember when you are through
I'll be here to sing along
My heart will be with you
Moments are fleeting each end is a greeting
To what lies ahead so get up from your bed
Keep your eyes off the clock
Time's spent better with them locked in mine
Oh, I tell you that it's true
Every second is a treasure with you
Winds are mean and time is too
I can see them in my face
But winds have timely brought us close
Like pearls sewn into lace
He has great plans in mind
For us for welfare, not for woe
Plans to give us futures full of goodness
Full of hope
