On The Radio
Sweetbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every year 525,600 minutes are gone
Did you hear me? 525,600 minutes are gone

Oh it's just goodbye
Oh it's just goodbye

[V.1]
Now I know that you're paper not silk
But I shouldn't cry for spilled milk
(I Try)
I know that the sun will still rise
'Cause after all we just said goodbye and I'll survive

[Chorus]
Is there anyone on the radio?
Listen to my song and let it go
Mmmmm , radio , Mmmmm , radio
Is there anyone on the radio?
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Mmmmm ,radio, Mmmmm ,radio
Oh is there anyone on the radio (So do you hear me?)
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Ooh oh it's just goodbye

[V.2]
I need to get back on my feet
'Cause I took a real long hard fall
But I won't cry for defeat
Yeah I'll just smile because I loved at all
And I'll stand tall

[Chorus]
Is there anyone on the radio?
Listen to my song and let it go
Mmmmm , radio , Mmmmm , radio
Is there anyone on the radio?
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Mmmmm ,radio, Mmmmm ,radio
Oh is there anyone on the radio (So do you hear me?)
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Ooh oh it's just goodbye

[V.3]
Oh wasted 365 days on you
Oh wasted 365 days on you
Oh but I won't regret a minute
Oh I won't cry for lost time
Oh it's just goodbye

I know that the sun will still rise
'Cause after all we just said goodbye and I'll survive

[Chorus]
Is there anyone on the radio?
Listen to my song and let it go
Mmmmm , radio , Mmmmm , radio
Is there anyone on the radio?
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Mmmmm ,radio, Mmmmm ,radio
Oh is there anyone on the radio (So do you hear me?)
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Ooh oh it's just goodbye





Every year 525,600 minutes are gone
Did you hear me? 525,600 minutes are gone
