Ashes
Tom Leeb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Appear from nowhere and I just walk through
Good old times
Same old storyline
I don't know if memories ever last
But with the years I'm falling through cutting glass
I chase you
Say my name darling
Say my name if you believe in us
Say my name darling
Say my name if you believe in us
And I'll be alright
'Cause I don't know where to go to, where to go to
Every word seems to fall, seems to fall
And now we burn into ashes
That I'm sure
You come and go but never stay
Guess I should lock my heart instead
Oh love, shades of grey
We're gone in circles back again
I try to see clear in the mess that I've made of you
It's all I do and all you have to do is
Say my name darling
Say my name if you believe in us
Say my name darling
Say my name if you believe in us
And I'll be just fine
'Cause I don't know where to go to, where to go to
Every word seems to fall, seems to fall
And now we burn into ashes
That I'm sure
We've come as far as it goes
So far ain't so good but you never know
I hate to call you beautiful
But it's all you are
Say my name darling
Say my name if you believe in us
'Cause I don't know where to go to, where to go to
Every word seems to fall, seems to fall
And now we burn into ashes
We burn into ashes
We're on Fire
Watch our hearts go burning
We're on Fire
Watch our hearts go burning
We're on Fire
Watch our hearts go burning

Line by Line Meaning
Everywhere, I seem to go to you
No matter where I go, my mind keeps wandering towards thoughts of you
Appear from nowhere and I just walk through
I see you in unexpected places, but don't know what to do about it
Good old times
I remember the happier moments we shared
Same old storyline
Our relationship keeps following the same pattern
I don't know if memories ever last
I'm unsure if the memories of our time together will stay with me forever
But with the years I'm falling through cutting glass
As time goes by, it feels like my memories are slipping away and causing me pain
I chase you
I keep longing for you
I sure do and all you have to do is
I still want you, and all you need to do is
Say my name darling
Call out my name, my love
Say my name if you believe in us
If you still have faith in our relationship, say my name
And I'll be alright
If you say my name, I'll feel better
'Cause I don't know where to go to, where to go to
I'm lost, with no direction
Every word seems to fall, seems to fall
Every promise or vow we made seems to have failed
And now we burn into ashes
Our love is crumbling and turning to ashes
That I'm sure
I'm certain of our relationship's demise
You come and go but never stay
You keep leaving and returning, but our relationship can never stay stable
Guess I should lock my heart instead
Maybe I should protect myself from getting hurt again
Oh love, shades of grey
Love is never black and white, always confusing and hard to read
We're gone in circles back again
Our relationship keeps repeating, never moving forward
I try to see clear in the mess that I've made of you
I'm trying to understand where things went wrong, and how I've hurt you
And all you have to do is
But what I need from you is
Say my name darling
Call out my name, my love
And I'll be just fine
If you say my name, everything will be okay
We've come as far as it goes
Our relationship has reached its limit
So far ain't so good but you never know
Things have not been great, but perhaps there's still hope
I hate to call you beautiful
I feel guilty for still finding you attractive despite everything
But it's all you are
But it's the truth, you are beautiful to me
We're on Fire
Our love is burning fiercely
Watch our hearts go burning
We can feel the passion and intensity in our hearts
