What do you mean?
I'm sorry by the way
Never coming back down
Can't you see?
I could, but wouldn't stay
Wouldn't put it like that

Never coming around
Be so sweet if things just stayed the same

Runnin' through my heart
Lights up and they know who you are
Know who you are

Lights up and they know who you are
Know who you are
Do you know who you are?
