SOS
StoneBridge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where are those happy days
They seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you
But you have closed you mind
What ever happend to her love
I wish i understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good
So when you need ma darling can't u hear me
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
When you're gone
How can i even try to go on
When you're gone
Though i tried
How can i carry on
You seem so far away
Though you're standing near
You made me feel aliove but something died i fear
I really tried to make it out
I wissh i understood
What happend to your love
It used to be so good
So when you need ma darling can't u hear me
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
When you're gone
How can i even try to go on
When you're gone
Though i tried
How can i carry on
What ever happend to you love
I wish i understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good
So when you need ma darling can't u hear me
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
When you're gone
How can i even try to go on
When you're gone
Though i tried
How can i carry on




Where are those happy days
They seem so hard to find

Cheesy dance music at its best... With a video which includes both gorgeous women, and gorgeous (but blatantly gay) men... I LOVE IT!!!

@bialyabnormal

I think both of the girls are just perfect :-) BTW The idea with waving those flags was just great, like all of the video and of course the music!
