I Could Never Be
Tom Scharpling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could never be
I could never be
I could never be ready for this

I could never be
I could never be
I could never be ready
Things start and things end, and
Isn't it lovely in theory? But

I could never be




I could never be
I could never be ready
