Give Me A Sign
We Set Signals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I here or am I still dreaming
Try to move
Feeling like I'm here to stay
I can see while I'm fast asleep
Not a sound but I feel like screaming
Wonder if it's ever gonna go away
Yeah
Close my eyes while I'm waking up
Miss a beat cause I've got that feeling
Hear the dark
its never had so much to say
Try to sleep on broken dreams
Try to stare anywhere but the ceiling
And I know
This Is never gonna go away
Give me a sign that I can believe
Instead of a world that's world coming down on me
A glimmer of hope when everything's lost
Instead of just feeling like I'm hanging on
A moment in time where I feel alive
Instead of just doing what I can to survive
So give me a sign, I wanna believe
The world isn't over, I can go back to sleep
I gotta let it go
Mixing thoughts inside my head
Is it me or did I stop breathing
Close my eyes
I hope there's nothing left to say
I see the shadow watching over me
Feels like I'm looking at my own reflection
And I know nothings ever gonna tear us away
Give me a sign that I can believe
Instead of a world that's world coming down on me
A glimmer of hope when everything's lost
Instead of just feeling like I'm hanging on
A moment in time where I feel alive
Instead of just doing what I can to survive
So give me a sign, I wanna believe
The world isn't over, I can go back to sleep
I gotta let it go
