Rest Of My Life
Unwritten Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I the only one that feels alone?
Though all is home
Emotions flow

Am I the only one that hears the tears
Run down my face?
Would anybody recognize at all?
'cause I know
I'm so slow
But I'm trying
And I'm still dying to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my

Life's the only thing that deals the pain
Like pouring rain now
Breeding hate

And I don't want to do no wrong
My God, it's been so long
Please comfort me before I go insane

'cause I know
I'm so slow
But I'm trying
And I'm still dying to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life

I know
I'm so slow
But I'm trying
And I'm still dying to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life

The rest of my life
Na na na na na na

She said

I'm slow
But I'm trying
And I'm still dying to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my




I can't have you leave for the rest of my
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life

Music In High Places is one of the best acoustic albums I have ever heard. It's too bad they don't get the recognition they deserve, they make some awesome music.
