Boomerang
She Is We Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To keep my chin held high and be brave
I used to close my eyes, bite my tongue
But now my fear
Has gone away
You held my head down
Didn't let me breathe
You hear that loud sound
Screaming out and free
My voice was finally found
Boom, baby
Hit ya like a boomerang
Tired of playin your game
What goes around will come around again
Boom, baby
Thought I'd just run away
Karma's calling out your name
What goes around will come around again What goes around will come around again
Like a boomerang
Thought I'd keep my mouth shut
Like I always did, I'd hide away
Finally had more than enough
I found the words I had to say
You held my head down
Didn't let me breathe
But look who's drowning now
You hear that loud sound
Screaming out and free
My voice was finally found
Boom, baby
Hit ya like a boomerang
Tired of playin your game
What goes around will come around again
Boom, baby
Thought I'd just run away
Karma's calling out your name
What goes around will come around again
Took advantage of my heart
You were trouble from the start
But I let you in
Lied and always tore me down
Thought I'd never speak out
But I won't let you win
I won't let you win
Boom, baby
Hit ya like a boomerang
Tired of playin your game
What goes around will come around again
Boom, baby
Thought I'd just run away
Karma's calling out your name
What goes around will come around again
Boom, baby
Hit ya like a boomerang
Tired of playin your game
What goes around will come around again
Boom, baby
Thought I'd just run away
Karma's calling out your name
What goes around will come around again What goes around will come around again

Whoa. I was hesitant to listen to this after learning that He is We broke up and the lead singer went solo. I've heard that story many times, and it's extremely rare that the new project was as amazing as the first. This is beyond all expectation! Rachel, you're so talented. Keep on shining!
