dream about me
Trails and Ways Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you walking and I take my time to know
I feel you breathing, but I just can't let it go
My time is wasting, but I know I cannot heal
You said it was nothing, but I know that shit was real

What could keep you from moving along on time?
What could keep you from running along?
I think that I'll go now, you need a chance

Touch me so crazy
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
No ain't got the time cause I made it
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me

I see you leaving, and you're probably heading home
I know you're with him, and I just can't let that go
'Cause he didn't come with.
Yeah I know, I'm not alright
One thing that I miss was goodbye

What could keep you from moving along on time?
What could keep you from running along?
I think that I'll go now, you need a chance

How it touch me so crazy
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
No ain't got the time cause I made it
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me

She says she wants a friend to lend the days and mask the day she left
Now I know I'm just a stranger living in look for love
She says she was a friend who left, so why would you look back?
'Cause maybe I know, there's no reason, so why would you say?

How it touch me so crazy
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
No ain't got the time cause I made it
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
How it touch me so crazy
Knowing you are the one and you're not thinking bout me
No ain't got the time cause I made it
