Around the Bend
Death Bells Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Emptiness in her head again,
Dust will fill the streets,
But it won't touch, won't touch you and me,
You and me
Heaviness in my heart again,
It's been a while,
Letting go, letting go of things which made you smile,
Made you smile Just wasting time,
I wanna see you,
I wanna feel fine
Just wasting time,
I wanna see you,
I wanna feel fine
Devotion, creeping above board,
Still now, there's love I can't afford
Emptiness in her head again,
Time to leave these streets,
And they won't touch, won't touch you and me,
You and me
Just wasting time,
I wanna see you,
I wanna feel fine
Just wasting time,
I wanna see you,
I wanna feel fine
Wasting time,
Wasting time,

Wasting time,
Waiting
