SafetySuit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And oh how it changes so fast
And oh how it's so hard to last here
Waiting for something to give
I think about time
A luxury so hard to find
And I just can't figure out why
But I'll be fine
Oh don't you worry
'Cause I'll be fine
See I'm in a hurry
To be gone away awhile
Tell me all the things that I
I'll be missing here in this old life
Man 'cause I just don't know
I think about you
And all of the times that we shared
And oh what a wonderful pair
We made it so far, here we go again
I think about love
And oh what a beautiful song
And oh how it needs to be sung here
Sing it so loud all the world can hear
I think I'll be gone away awhile
Tell me all the things that I
I'll be missing here in this old life
Man ?cause I just don't know
I think I'll be gone away awhile
Tell me all the things that I
I'll be missing here in this old life
Man, 'cause I just don't know
No, no, I just don't know
And I just don't know
But I'll be fine
Oh don't you worry 'cause I'll be fine
See I'm in no hurry
No, I'll be fine
Oh don't you worry
'Cause I'll be fine
See I'm in a hurry
To be gone away awhile
Tell me all the things that I
I'll be missing here in this old life
Man 'cause I just don't know, no, no
I think I'll be gone away a while
Tell me all the things that I
I'll be missing here in this old life
Man, 'cause I just don't know
No, no, I just don't know
Gone away awhile
Tell me all the things that I
I'll be missing here in this old life
Man 'cause I just don't know
