Seabird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think I'm losing a friend, began at the end
I wish it weren't so but I've gotta know
Did I wait too long to say I was wrong?
I wish it weren't so but I've gotta go

And oh, they say this road
It's a hard one, it's a dark one
But if you promise to stay close
We can take this, we can shake this

Woah, woah, woah, waoh

I finally see what you did to me
It just wasn't right but I don't wanna fight
I say we move one 'cause what we had is gone
And I think it's best that we let this rest

And oh, they say this road
It's a hard one, it's a dark one
But if you promise to stay close
We can take this, we can shake this

Woah, woah, woah, woah

And oh, they say this road
It's a hard one, it's a dark one
But if you promise to stay close
We can take this, we can shake this

And oh, they say this road
It's a hard one, it's a dark one
But if you promise to stay close
We can take this, we can shake this





Think I'm losing a friend, began at the end
I wish it weren't so but I've gotta go
