Every Minute Alone
WhoMadeWho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every minute alone, every day spent at home
Every point of return, every thought and concern
Every moment that pass, every piece of my heart
Every point of return, every running towards the top
Should I call you up?
Should I call you up?
Every point of return, every thought and concern
Every hour of doubt, try to figure it out
Should I call you up?
Should I call you up?
Every minute alone, every day spent at home,
Every running towards the top
Every point of return, every thought and concern
Every time I try to stop
[x2]
Every minute alone, every day spent at home
Every hour of doubt, try to figure it out




Every hour of doubt, try to figure it out
Every hour of doubt, try to figure it out

This is one of my favorite music videos ever. I was listening to this song like crazy back in 2011. And today I just had to watch it again after I saw The Swedish Theory of Love. And after all I don't hate our latin dramas that much... I am from Argentina; we don't know what is life beyond crisis; we've never met it. Keep the good work, guy. Love.
