Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No trace of slowing down, And still we wonder,
I dare to reads her lips, But we know,
The evening brings war, These words disarm my touch,
Did I wait too long
She really got it, Overdose on her ghost, Oh you know,
I see her in my dreams,
I breathe for one, We burn for two,
Arrest in hollow towns, And still I want her,
I swear I won't forget, Her words,
I meant to follow, The moments gone, That I know,
Please wake me up,
I want to let you know now, I'll never let you go now,
This time its right,
The skies are bright enough, The skies are bright enough
