Nervous
Wolfgun Ft. Tim Bonvallet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreamed I was in a desert, without any love
Storm grey clouds, hovering above
Silence all around me; I was wandering alone
And I realized there is nothing anyone can really own

And I wished for guidance, and I wished for peace
I could see the lightning somewhere in the east
And I wished for affection, and I wished for calm
As I lay there, nervous in the light of dawn

It's hard to change, and it's hard to lose
It takes years for us to be made smooth
You can use up all of your, yeah, precious energy
To be tossed like a shell, from the hungry sea

And I wished for guidance, and I wished for peace
I could see the lightning somewhere in the east
And I wished for affection, and I wished for calm
As I lay there, nervous in the light of dawn

Hold me in your arms until I fall asleep
I'm so tired; hold me

And I realized there is nothing anyone can really own

And I wished for guidance, and I wished for peace
I could see the lightning somewhere in the east
And I wished for affection, and I wished for calm
As I lay there, nervous in the light of dawn
As I lay there, nervous in the light of dawn





Nervous in the light of, nervous in the light of, nervous in the light of...
