It Kills
W.I.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun will rise again
breaking through the clouds
and this is our way out
Oh doctor, doctor, can you feel the light attack,
cause it's been pushing on my back
and it screams so loud

I'll listen for the sentiment,
you listen for the sound
Whatever it takes, we won't know until we meet again
Whatever it takes, we won't know until we meet again

The boys will ride again
running gun in hand
we'll make it back alright
Oh doctor, doctor, you did wonders with my sight,
cause I've been looking up all night
and I can hear them start to fight.

I'll listen for the sentiment
you listen for the sound
Whatever it takes, we won't know until we meet again
Whatever it takes, we won't know until we meet again

And so I'll wait for the rising sun and so I'll wait,
I'LL WAIT!

I'll listen for the sentiment




you listen for the sound
Whatever it takes, we won't know until we meet again.
