I like It
The Tuesday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope it rains
There's blood in the sink
Why'd you two have to fight
In the garage
If it rains
The blood left in the sink
Will wash away
Shadowboxers on the wall
Before I sleep
Watched you fight
Watched you bleed
While I sleep the room twists cold
And now my eyes
They don't close

Maybe one day
It'll all wash away
I'm still not who I want to be
But I'm coming closer
I just don't need this
Bringing me down
This dark cloud

Maybe one day
I'll see your face
Different from the same old
Pictures in my mind
I don't know if you'd
Want to be here if you could
No one will know




And I don't need to know
I'm not the one who needs you
