Here I Am
Sever Your Ties Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is where it ends
This is where my thoughts are scrambled
This is where I end
This is where my thoughts are dead

This is where I run
Into the place where I feel comfortable
This is where I finally lay down
For the last time

Here I am
I hope you trust that people can change so
Here I am
In a sleeping world

My thoughts are dead
So let's see if I can think of you
My thoughts are dead
So let's see if I can think of you

Here I am
I hope you trust that people can change so
Here I am
In a sleeping world

It can always begin
To shape and form your mind
And it can always begin
To shake the world I'm in

This is where I run
Into the place where I feel comfortable
This is where I finally lay down
For the last time

Here I am
I hope you trust that people can change so
Here I am
In a sleeping world

Here I am
In a sleeping world
In a sleeping world

My thoughts are dead
So let's see if I can think of you




My thoughts are dead
So let's see if I can think of you
