Petals
Seiichi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But only as her skirt fall gently on his eye
And the vanity of gold plated petals
No water in that earth no
Save yourself the time
I'm holding mine
And I never did fall so hard
And I really want you but I always want you
And I'm still not convinced that I should
In the fog of we ever was a martyr
But I refuse to squander death without a cause
Of the finer things we were nothing short
But dare I ask forgiveness and you should ask for war
But I've got no more
And I really like you but I've always liked you
And I never did fall so hard
And I really want you but I always want you
And I'm still not convinced that I should
But I won't lie I think about it
Cause we never really got our first chance
Oh love I'm sorry
But I think that you should know
It's time we let this go
We shouldn't have to change who we are
And I really like you but I've always liked you
And I never did fall so hard
And I really want you but I always want you
And I'm still not convinced that I should
