Crash Land
Twin Atlantic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crash land
So I can't find you
Just as things were looking up
We're stuck

Don't panic
Because I'm left without food
Just as things were heating up
I should have told you that you're good enough

Because I'm stuck here on this island
And I've lost it all over again
Nothing gets better than memories
When all you have are memories for friends
I went searching when the lights went out
I went searching when my flight went down

'Cause I made a rope
Can I throw it out to you?
You drag me back home
I deserve to be rescued
But still I have trouble with most days and nights
But still I have trouble with moving my life outside

Crash land
Still I cant find you
Just as things were looking up
We're fucked

Don't panic
Because there's nothing here to fear
And just don't lose imagination or luck

Because I'm stuck here on this island
And I've lost it all over again
Nothing gets better than memories
When all you have are memories for friends
I went searching when the lights went out
I went searching when my flight went down

'Cause I made a rope
Can I throw it out to you?
You drag me back home
I deserve to be rescued
But still I have trouble with most days and nights
But still I have trouble with moving my life outside

I'm stuck here on this island
And I've lost it all over again
Nothing gets better than memories
When all you have are memories for friends
I went searching when the lights went out
I went searching when my flight went down

'Cause I made a rope
Can I throw it out to you?
You drag me back home
I deserve to be rescued




But still I have trouble with most days and nights
But still I have trouble with moving my life outside
