Messiah
The Prides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to throw myself into whatever I choose
I want to hold it I want to feel
I want to know that this is really biting at my heel
I know it's hard for you
I'll save the only truth
You don't have to lock the door
I don't live there anymore.
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love.
I want to dream it and it to be true
I want to be the one they say "hey he's coming through"
They'll open up the door
We'll live here I promise you won't want anymore
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love.
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
