Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Lookin' for a sign of life
  • Lookin' for somethin' to help me burn out bright
  • And I'm lookin' for a complication
  • Lookin' cause I'm tired of lyin'

Echo the hook

  • Lookin' cause I'm tired of tryin'
  • Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
  • Make my way back home when I learn to
  • Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
lookin'lifehome
