Long Way Down
When Came April Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I realize my tears don't dry on their own
Because I miss your eyes
Scared again to be alone
I wish you've called my name that rainy night when I've gone
That night I've lost my game
No second chance to save the sun
[On my back again my hands up to the sky
But I can't say anything more than a sad goodbye

Maybe you understand I'm feeling far behind
I want to burn down that wall those pictures in my mind]
Everything and every place
Reminds me of your warm embrace
It's not the first
Time I stand here
Not the first lines
Explaining what I fear
Don't call my name
Forget my eyes

I'll try that too
But I hate goodbyes
