my fault
Zeph Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm making sure it's all my fault
I'll become the mirage I wished on
Yeah I know that it's a long shot
Not long enough

I'm making it up as I go
I'll get there no matter how I throw
They told me that it's a long shot
I know

I'm placing my hopes on little stones
I skip like all the steps
That it would take to get to you
I'm sorry I'm impatient

Don't let it slip through your fingers
Either way I'll be around




We're just a collage of pictures
Waiting to be taken now
