My List
The Killers(殺手樂團) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll show me how I see it
And when you come back in from nowhere
Do you ever think of me?
Your heart, not able
Let me show you how much I care
I need those eyes to tide me over
I'll take your picture when I go Gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know
I got nothing on you, babe
But I always said I'll try
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
Don't you know?
[Chorus x 3]
Don't give the ghost up
Just clench your fist
You should know by now
You were on my list
Your heart, not able
Your ways - they're not able
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
And don't ya know?
[Chorus x 3]
When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
