Out There
Strawberry Milk Cult Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I′m not trying to make things harder
But I wish I had as much time
As I did when I got here
And I've been running, running, running
Trying to keep my pace
But nothings really working in a quiet place
I can feel myself as I′m screaming out for attention
I'm sure that one day I'll be fine
Till then I′m trying to take my time
It′s only bad for a minute of time
Before you're out there
Cause I know that deep down in my soul
I know something that no one knows
It′s only bad for a minute of time
Before you're out there
Before you′re out there
I'm anxious as fuck, I lost my way
I′m sure today's just not my day
It's only bad for a minute of time
Before you′re out there
I′m sure that one day I'll be fine
Till then I′m trying to take my time
It's only bad for a minute of time
Before you′re out there
Cause I know that deep down in my soul
I know something that no one knows
It's only bad for a minute of time
Before you′re out there
Before you're out there
