Time
Tapping the Vein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're leaving me
For a moment among the wolves
And I never felt so small until now

You're leading me in further through the woods
And it never felt so wrong until now

I'd love to believe you
But I'm starting to see through
I just want back the old you again

You're leaving me
For a moment among the wolves
And I never felt so small until, until now

I'd love to believe you
But I'm starting to see through
I just want back the old you again

All I, all I have is time
And all I, all I have is time

All I, all I have is time
And all I, all I have is time

I'd love to believe you
But I'm starting to see through
I just want back the old you again

You're all I have left here
All I have left
I am begging now




I am begging now
I am begging now

Awesome song! Listening to their music-being new to it- this band is pretty kickass! They really should have been a lot bigger then they were. But I still love these songs! Heather Thompson is an amazing singer with a lot of emotion!
