Out Of Yourself
Truls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cause when you didn't call me up again
I knew everything was wrong
The time was real, I see that now
Never should have done this on my own
Could have talked with everyone
But there's a room, there's a room
There's a room, there's a room with a view
Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been?

Cause I never want to run away from you again
Pick up the diamond, put it in your hand
I am digging up my gold for you tonight
Melt it down, and put it on

I really didn't know myself at all
And then you came into my life
You spread the clouds and beamed me up
Underneath your beauty there's a brain
It's a book with all my names
It's a dream, it's a dream
It's a dream, it's a dream, it's a dream

Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been?

Cause I never want to run away from you again
Pick up the diamond, put it in your hand
I am digging up my gold for you tonight
Melt it down, and put it on

Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been out of yourself?
Have you never been?

Cause I never want to run away from you again
Pick up the diamond, put it in your hand




I am digging up my gold for you tonight
Melt it down, and put it on
