Grey
The Franks and Davler Overdrive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm losing sleep
Light a smoke so I can breathe
It's too dark, it's too loud in the city
If I had a god, I would say he was wrong
Got these scars, but I think they're pretty

So I say hey!
Been high since yesterday
You know it kills the pain
It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
So tired of the same
Never seems to change

It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey

Hey!
Been high since yesterday
You know it kills the pain
It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
So tired of the same
Never seems to change

It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey

Hey!
Been high since yesterday
You know it kills the pain
It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
So tired of the same
Never seems to change

It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
Hey!
Been high since yesterday
It's hard to find a love through every shade, every shade

Hey!




Been high since yesterday
It's hard to find a love through every shade, every shade of grey (hey, hey, hey)

Okay, now that's enthralling and intriguing. I'm already hooked on due to Sabeena in there. She's engaging her nuances and knacks into immensely ample area of performances. And the name GREY signifies well about the clandestine aspects of apparently well perceived statures. Wow. Another ingenious plot. Extremely gripping first episode. Lets unroll the GREY.
