Thousand Mile Summer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me if I'm to blame.
What will I do,
When youre not here
I wont have your shoulder to rest my head onto
Of time is all it takes,
Then I'm more then willing
Just please dont let my heart break,
Please dont slip away.
You know I need you,
Each and every day.
I dont know how hard this will be,
I try not to be so unhappy
Remember me,
As the one who made you smile.
Remember me,
As the one who made it worth your while.
Remember me.
What will I do,
When youre not here
I wont have your shoulder to rest my head onto
Please dont slip away.
You know I need you,
Each and every day.
I dont know how hard this will be,
I try not to be so unhappy
Remember me,
As the one who made you smile.
Remember me,
As the one who made it worth your while.
Remember me.
