pierre XO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holding on to you
Find our souls and see it through
Holding on to you
Hold on to the silence in your brain
(I know it won't be long)
Please give only to the ones in pain
You don't know it
I am holding
All my heart for you
Now or Never
Call on to the sun that shines in the rain
Let it come with the light inside your eyes
Now or Never
