The Lyndsay Diaries Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Josephine you are running with the stream.
And you are falling through the cracks.
Can't you just hear them talking in the background,
in the background of your mind. They speak to you.

Did you hear the song of the star-crossed lovers?
It occured in a valley far far away.
The mountains they kiss the sky.
And the clouds rain down stars on them.
The stars rain down upon them

Josephine. Do you know what you mean?
Josephine. Do you know what you mean to me?

If I whisper secrets to the stars
then I think you will understand wo we are. Who we really are.
We will kiss the sky and hold on only to the moon.
And we will dance in the light that it so kindly provides us.

If I was to die tonight would me meet in the heavens?
And if I was to die tonight would I ever see you again?
And would I ever see you again?

Josephine. do you know what you mean?




Josephine. do you know that you mean everything to me?
Josephine you mean to me the world.
