shine On
The Emma Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
spend them with you
its been a long time
and it seems that you never realized
my love was deep and true
i like the way you stroke my chest
the sun was up when we did our best
just to keep us
shine on little darling
winter's coming soon
but we're still fighting
shine on little darling
let's move away
i carried you home last night out of the bar
I've seen you crying I've seen you fall behind
my life seems so far away from yours
even if we feel so apart
let me console your lonely heart
I don't think that you care
And I know someday you'll understand
but please let me
