Flight
The Sweep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing all my hope
Lights fall down
I see it in the wind, I see it in my heart
And I don't know what I am looking for
But I will never know until I move forward
To beauty trapped in tragedy
Here's to the day we met
I fucked up with no regret
I'm losing my hope
I'm losing my hope
I'll start at the bottom
But I'll learn to pick me up
When I see it coming,
Ill learn to keep my wounds unopened
With every word that's spoken
The sigh of my happiness is a state of mind
So clear and golden, clear and golden
Where does my future go?
I never want to know, I never want to know
I never want to know
And I never want to know
And I'll never want to know
And I'll never want to know
I never want to know
To know
