Upside Down
Shorebirds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With a love that cuts through the clouds, yeah you'll find me hanging upside down. It's a feeling in my buts that knows, it's a feeling in my heart that tells me you're going to do what's right. So don't stop living. With a pain that cuts me like a knife, I want to know that you won't be hard to find. I wish that I could call you right now and tell you that I'm around. I wish you would've called me that night and told me that you hurt inside. So don't stop living
