Rest Of My Life
Unwritten Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though all is home
Emotions flow
Am I the only one that hears the tears
Run down my face?
Would anybody recognize at all?
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.
