My Love Say
myballoon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we talk for a while
Can we walk a mile
Can you hear me breathe
C'mon my love, say that it's all right

It's not over here right now
It's not over here right now

Things they change sometimes
And we all die young
I could not leave this place
Without my love, say that we all rise

It's not over here right now
It's not over here right now
