Tiësto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your echoes
Bursting of the walls into my heart
Echoes
Reaching me no matter where you are
Your echoes
This is really and baby, I can't let go
I can't help surrender to your echoes
Echoes, echoes, echoes

Echoes
Your echoes
Turning every drop into emotion
Your echoes
Setting every sense a heavy motion
Your echoes
This is really and baby, I can't let go
I can't help surrender to your echoes
Echoes (echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes)

I can echoes

I can echoes
Echoes
