Shiver
The Orders Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh honey, if you could only tell
The way, that this feels
You’d see there’s really no more waves
Just calm, yeah, it’s still
From all the time I’ve spent, just trying to send out, this SOS
Take me away
Far away, far from here
From all the waves
Crashing down, down on me
You’ve got me swimming through the shivers
Now after all this time I’ve tried
To find, peace of mind
The shallows pull me into deep
It’s hard, just to see
The shallows drag me down, I drown and I, can’t seem to find the edge
Take me away
Far away, far from here
From all the waves
Crashing down, down on me
You’ve got me swimming through the shivers
Take me away
Far away, far from here
From all the waves




Crashing down, down on me
You’ve got me swimming through the shivers
