Skip The Use Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
Eight o'clock in the morning
Too hard to give, too hard to live
I can't stop dreaming
You make up your angry eyes
You stay hidden but I see you smile
I wanna stay inside your arms
I want to feel fine (you have to survive)
Twenty minutes and I'm ready
It's not raining today
I'm late and I must hurry
Welcome to my way (you have to survive)
I don't wanna wet us, I'm sorry
It's not raining today
Kill the light, I can see
Time is running out
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
Time is running out
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
You know I'm on the road
We are playing tonight
Ever since this morning
Your kiss is on my skin
What's again tonight?
Will you talk to me?
You know I need you to make it real
Time is running out
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
Time is running out
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
(You have to survive)
(You have to survive)
You gonna die, die, die
I get, I get what they're saying to me
I gotta smile, smile, smile
Forget, forget, forget it I won't obey
Come inside my world, leave the gun outside
I got the words, let them blow your mind
It's a lie, lie, lie
I get, I get what the story will be
You gotta try, try, try
Escape, escape, escape your misery
Stop the motion, I got the solution
Wake up, focus, thrive and get free
Time is running out
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
Time is running out
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
Time is running out
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
Time is running out
A ghost keeping me alive
I get what it means
You have to survive
