Still In The Groove
Seen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight decide
To rise above yourself
Last chance, your choice
To rise above yourself
You're going out again
You're acting out again
You're passing out again

(I'm in control, I'm doing fine)
(I'm in control, I'm doing fine)
(Don't waste your breath on me
I'm in control, I'm doing fine)
But I'm finding out you're going down
(Don't waste your time on me
This is my choice, this is my life)
But I'm finding out you're going down

(I won't stop)
I'm sad, but not surprised, your eyes
Cry panic
Please decide, to reside
In this promise
You're sitting right across the room
I wish you only knew
How beautiful you are
You're sitting right across the room
I wish you…
How beautiful you are

Tonight decide to rise above yourself
You are not alone

(I won't stop)
I'm sad, but not surprised, your eyes
Cry panic
Please decide, to reside
In this promise
You are not alone, I promise
You are not alone (You're so beautiful) I promise
You are not alone (Never forget) I promise
(What it's like)
I promise

(To be loved)
I promise
