Saint
Texas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll fix it, don't worry now
I'm needing you there
Make sure that you're coming too
All of my life
Is all I'll give you here
The meaning of me
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
Grown ups don't know
How to dream anymore
Their heads in the sand
And they choose to ignore it all
All of my life
Is all I'll give you here
The meaning of me
Is something to pursue
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
A man inside the boy
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head

For I know that there's a man inside the boy
I recognize that there is still maturity and growth potential within me
Grown ups don't know
Mature people are unaware
How to dream anymore
How to have aspirations
Their heads in the sand
They are ignoring reality
And they choose to ignore it all
And they prefer not to face the challenges
A man inside the boy
A mature individual within a youthful person
