Can I?
Spring King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I, so I, can take some time to clear my mind
Of all, of all, the things that made me begin to fall for her
Her smile, her smile, lingers still like a winters chill
If only,
I could find a way to another world
Where I’d make good friends with a brand new girl
In the morning, in the morning I’m going home
My heart, my heart, needs to go back to the start
With a, with a, a new girl who’s better and suits the part
If only,
I could find a way to another world
Where I’d make good friends with a brand new girl
And rid you from my mind, rid you from my life
In the morning, in the morning I’m going home
