One Step Closer
Shiverburn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Even if I could turn back time, I wouldn't
Even if I would change it all, I couldn't
It's a combination of escape, exist and excite

Excited for the things I could only dream about
Whispering my dream but now say it out loud
It's time for you and me to see
Things aren't like they used to be

Ignore you when you're speaking
Feel my heart is leaving
Leaving the past behind
Now it's beating on the bright side

Ignore you when you're speaking
Leaving it all behind
One step closer to the other side

Keep talking about that circle in the past
Suddenly it's fading away so fast

Just keep calm and take them

Ignore you when you're speaking
Feel my heart is leaving
Leaving the past behind (leaving the past behind)
Now it's beating on the bright side

Ignore you when you're speaking
Leaving it all behind
One step closer to the other side

Embrace this feeling
Believe that it's healing
Keep on dreaming
Keep on dreaming

Ignore you when you're speaking
Feel my heart is leaving
Leaving the past behind (leaving the past behind)
Now it's beating on the bright side

Ignore you when you're speaking (you're speaking)
Leaving it all behind (leaving it all behind)
One step closer to the other side

Embrace this feeling
Believe that it's healing
Leaving the past behind (leaving the past behind)
One step closer to the other side (keep on dreaming)

Embrace this feeling
Believe that it's healing




Leaving the past behind (leaving the past behind)
One step closer to the other side
