Sequoyah Prep School Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are a million miles away and i don't know what to do
And i thought maybe we could start over
Cause i'm sick and tired of running
Do you think maybe i could come over?
Cause i'm pretty sure that you look stunning
Say bye , say goodnight
And i said wait one minute
That is my heart in your hands
And i wouldnt want you to forget it
And leave me alone again
She says wait one minute
That is my heart in your hands
And i wouldnt want you to forget it
And leave me alone again
Say bye say goodnight
She says wait one minute cause i don't know what to do say that i'm the only one that i'm so perfect for you
She says wait one minute cause i don't know what to do
Say that i'm the only one that i'm so perfect for you
And i knew that this would happen
And i knew that i'd panic
And i knew that we'd fall apart
And i'm falling apart
And i knew that this would happen
And i knew that i'd panic
And i knew that we'd fall apart
And i gave you my heart, i gave you my heart
This is my apology
I hope it means something
And i hope you will forgive me cause i am falling apart, falling apart
