and thoughts
r.roo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel like I'm fire
Don't say another word
Seems the more exquisite love
And the more exquisite hurt
Oh, I could live a lifetime
Trying to understand and learn
But some things are too damn deep
To make sense of, girl ah, ah

Well, I've learnt the saplings sweet
Where the gentle songbird sings
Then there's a blood-red paradox
At the bloody heart of things
And all these walking thoughts
Oh, darling, I can't shake them free
I wish that they were you walking into me

Darling, please, please, please
Would you follow me, please, please, please?
Would you follow me down this street?
Would you follow me, please?

Well, maybe I'm just proud
I never learnt to turn around
And I know that table well
It just devours it's devout
But I'm already leaving
Do you feel the irony?
You may have slipped the knife
But I can be the end of me

Darling, please, please, please
Would you follow me, please, please, please?
Would you follow me down this street?
Would you follow me, please?
Darling, please, please, please
Would you follow me, please, please, please?




Would you follow me down this street?
Would you follow me?

Could you accompany me, I beg of you


Would you follow me down this street?
Will you walk alongside me on this path?


Would you follow me, please?
Can you accompany me, I implore you
