It's Alright
The Shears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's looking for her freedom while he's on her mind
searching high and low but she will never find
what became of him but the flame won't end cuz they met and fell in love

She's running out of money and she's out of time, they've got her face on tape and there's no rewind
and all the things she hid all the things she said, crazy things she did for love
he said
oh oh oh
it's alright it's alright

she's moving over mountains and she's pushing skies
she's looking for a lover that she'll never find
and she ask why, can't I leave this all behind
she's crossing over oceans with no silver lining
the loss of him has left her with no sense of time and
so it never ends, it's sink or swim for the citzens of love he said

oh oh oh
it's alright it's alright

She's giving me something, somethings taking over me
shes's giving me something, something that I'll never see

oh oh oh
it's alright it's alright





say it again, say it again

Lyrics :
She's looking for her freedom while he's on her mind
Searching high and low but she will never find
What became of him but the flame won't end cuz they met and fell in love

She's running out of money and she's out of time, they've got her face on tape and there's no rewind
And all the things she hid all the things she said, crazy things she did for love
He said

Oh oh oh
It's alright it's alright

She's moving over mountains and she's pushing skies
She's looking for a lover that she'll never find
And she ask why, can't I leave this all behind
She's crossing over oceans with no silver lining
The loss of him has left her with no sense of time and
So it never ends, it's sink or swim for the citzens of love he said

Oh oh oh
It's alright it's alright

She's giving me something, somethings taking over me
Shes's giving me something, something that I'll never see

Oh oh oh
It's alright it's alright

Say it again, say it again
