fthrsn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel the same hole
I'm falling deep inside
And I never had enough
I'll tell you when you sleep, boy
I'll tell you when you sleep
My babe, my baby don't you cry
And I feel the same hole
And I never had enough
I'll tell you when you sleep, boy
I'll tell you when you sleep
And I wait, it's all in a lifetime
And I wait, on my way, oh no yeah
And it's all in a lifetime
On our way, on our way, oh no yeah
And it's all in a lifetime
On our way, on our way, oh no yeah
And it's all in a lifetime
On our way, on our way, oh no yeah
And it's all in a lifetime
On our way, on our way, oh no yeah
And it's all in a lifetime
On our way, on our way, oh no yeah
And it's all in a lifetime
On our way, on our way, oh no yeah

Still coming here in 2021. Pandemic age, unemployment, sadness everywhere. I'm sad :( But this song reminds me of younger, happier times. I come here to put myself in those shoes, to try to face the hardships of today.
