Pray For Me
Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pray for the day we're on top of a mountain
Pray for the day we're on top of a mountain

I've heard that the eyes are a window to the soul
Try to keep your eyes open and they just let in the cold
I know that the mind plays a million little tricks
You and I side by side try to make a little sense of it
When you're feeling like it's all too much
It's bigger than the both of us

Pray for the day we're on top of a mountain
It's all looking bright

It feels like forever when you never get to say what is truly on your heart
When you wear it on your sleeve all day

Come on, come on I know where you're coming from
At the end of it all you can come and run away with me

When you're feeling like it's all too much
It's bigger than the both of us

Pray for the day we're on top of a mountain
And I look down the other side
Wait for the day when over the mountain
It's all looking bright.

Trust me you know that you can trust me to stand I will hold on so tightly to your hand
Trust me you know that you can trust me to stand I will hold on so tightly to your hand

Pray for the day we're on top of a mountain

Pray for the day we're on top of a mountain
And I look down the other side
Wait for the day when we're over the mountain
It's all looking bright




It's all looking bright
It's all looking bright

I'm always ready for a war again (a war again)
Go down that road again (that road again)
It's all the same (it's all the same)
I'm always ready to take a life again
You know I'll ride again
It's all the same (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me who's gon' save me from myself
When this life is all I know
Tell me who's gon' save me from this hell
Without you, I'm all alone
Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)
Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)
Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)
'Cause I'm alone, you see (I'm alone, you see)
If I'm gon' die for you (if I'm gon' die for you )
If I'm gon' kill for you (if I'm gon' kill for you)
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey
I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept
I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Shooters on top of the building, government aid ain't relief
Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks
The poor run with smoke lungs and Scarface
Who need a hero? (Hero)
You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero
Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero)
My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle
Mass destruction and mass corruption
The souls are sufferin' men
Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'
It's all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good
Then that's what it gotta be
Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)
Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)
Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)
'Cause I'm alone, you see (I'm alone, you see)
If I'm gon' die for you (if I'm gon' die for you )
If I'm gon' kill for you (if I'm gon' kill for you)
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)
Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)
Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)
'Cause I'm alone, you see (I'm alone, you see)
If I'm gon' die for you (if I'm gon' die for you )
If I'm gon' kill for you (if I'm gon' kill for you)
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey
Just in case my faith go
I live by my own law
I live by my own law
I live by my own
Just in case my faith go
I live by my own law
I live by my own law
I live by my own
