Moving On
Turboweekend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It hit like a power cut
Cut like a razor to my eye
It sits like a muscle cramp
Stamps out the last embers of the fire

This can't keep going on
Going on, going on
When love is gone
It's time to be moving on

This can't keep going on
Going on, going on
When love is gone
It's time to be moving on

There's no way to turn this train
I'm drained by the sheer cold fact
(Screaming in the hall)
(Words like bullets)

I can't play with open arms anymore
And I can't hold you back
(Climbing up the walls)
(Sleeping on needles)

Go where your heart leads
Be where your heart is now
Go where your heart leads
I'll make it work somehow

You say finally found
The key to set you free
It's not that I don't want
You to be who you got to be

But I, I wish your heart was
I wish your heart was with me

This can't keep going on
Going on, going on
When love is gone
It's time to be moving on

This can't keep going on
Going on, going on
When love is gone
It's time to be moving on

This can't keep going on
Going on, going on
When love is gone
It's time to be moving on

This can't keep going on
Going on, going on




Your love is gone
It's time to be moving on
