human
Sebastian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are his – I am hers
We're fighting a temptation –
that's only getting worse
Are we blessed – Are we cursed
It's one of those situations –
where everybody hurts

OHH – No matter how we try
we can't let go

We're only human –
We're only flesh & blood
We're human – that's all we ever was

I'm trying to figure right from wrong so
Please don't touch me
Girl you know we're not that strong
We're only human

We walked around – safe & sound
Came across each other
– and life came crashing down

And now here we are – We've gone too far
(we) oughta leave but it's so hard
We're caught between these hearts

OHH – No matter how we try
We can't let go

We're only human –
We're only flesh & blood
We're human – that's all we ever was

I'm trying to figure right from wrong so
Please don't touch me
Girl you know we're not that strong
We're only human

Maybe it's a road we have to take
Maybe it's a bond we have to break
Maybe this is fate
A mistake we have to make

We're only human –
We're only flesh & blood
We're human – that's all we ever was

I'm trying to figure right from wrong so
Please don't touch me
Girl you know I'm not that strong
We're only human
We're only human




We're only human
Human
