Blood
Saltwater Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling out the shadows
Make my way to light
Finding out
Finding out the ways you taught me wrong from right
Heaven knows it's been hard
But you're pulling me up
They have flooded every thought, every time
This is how you never die
When you see me now, I never wanted anything but this
Is it dainty now by the agony of all you've had to miss?
Stand my ground
Stand my ground for the heartbroken, timid and weak
I see now, you're living through me
Hide me now
Hide me now from the heartless, the jaded and mean
And I thought you never did see
Heaven knows it's been hard
But you're pulling me up
Figured it out, I'll always carry you through somehow
'Cause you're all in my blood
This is how you never really die
Been so long without you
We were better when we were four
We were way too young
'Cause we've grown stronger and we've fought
This is how you never really die
Stand your ground
Stand your ground for the heartbroken, timid and weak
I see it now, they're living through me
Hide me now, can you hide me now from the heartless, the [?] and mean?
And I thought you never did see
I'll always carry you through somehow
'Cause you're all in my blood
Carry on in my blood, keep you close
They have flooded every thought, every time
This is how you never die
