Echo (Longer Version) Lyrics

Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste, asking why

I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go let go, let go of this pride, yeah

I think about your face
And how I fall into your eyes
The outline that I trace
Around the one that I call mine
Time that called for space
Unclear where you drew the line
I don't need to solve this case
And I don't need to look behind

Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste, asking why

I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride, yeah

Do I expect to change
The past I hold inside?
With all the words I say
Repeating over in my mind
Some things you can't erase
No matter how hard you try
An exit to escape
Is all there is left to find

Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste, asking why

I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside

So I close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste, asking why

I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go let go, let go of this pride
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Love this song en i totally agree with grlatdarocksho22..

well in my opinion, he was in a relationship he took fer granted, he did something wrong to the girl because of what ppl thought, en it would hurt his pride..little did he know that he didn't hurt his pride, but hurt the girl instead..

pretty touching boyfriend isn't he..? well moving on..

he didn't notice that he hurt her, until she wanted time off..then he FINALLY realizes his big mistake.. he closes his eyes, trying to make it all a dream..no wait, scratch that..he tried to make it all seem a nightmare that he can awake from anytime he wanted..but noo..it wasn't a dream OR a nightmare..it wnt pass him by..soo he tried to make the most of it by trying to run away from his probs..and imagine that the girl was with him..running away by his side..away to where ppl wnt judge them..

wooow..well i mite be wrong..remember this is my OPINION(:

I have a different perspective because my current love dedicates this song to me all the time. In our scenario I believe it represents excruciating betrayal, hurt and pain from a past relationship and the recognition that fear and pride kept the speaker from going with his heart because he was afraid of opening up getting hurt again. He pushed his current love away for a long time but now wishes he hadn’t. The speaker still struggles with devastating pain from the past, but does not want the past back again. He wants to move forward with his current love, which he feels is the greatest love of all time, all the while recognizing his pride still gets in the way.

basically the same as the shorter version... i think its about a girl who brok up with him and he still wants to be with her... and feels so lonely and when he calls for her, he only hears his echo and stuff but he doesnt like it... and his pride may have been the reason they broke up... so he wants to let go of it and hes trying to erase the past that she didnt like, but he cant or whatever andy ways GREAT SONG if you get a chance to listen to this version do it because i think its better then the other one... but they are both really goos... TRAPT ROCKS!!

I agree. It seems like she said they needed time apart and eventually things just never worked out. Now he wants to go back and change it all, but it's pretty much pointless because no matter what, it'll end up the same way.

I'm probably wrong, but oh well.

I have always liked this song but now i reminds me of this guy I talked to still friends for som reason we always end up talkin anyways he came over n this song came on n i tried to change it so it wouldn be awkward but he was like leave it aha n now that i listen to it, it makes sense we strarted off best friends n ended up fallin for each other but I kno him so well n his past was somethin i always thought of cos he was with alot of girls but he tells me were always gonna be friends n he even talks about meeting me up in my life and iving with me i kno sounds like bull! ha but thas basically wat the song is this guy cant let go no matter how hard he tries, and no matter how his past is he still wants this girl and for her to see past it. typical guy ahah doesn kno wat he wants,he wants to be with her but theres always somethin that comes in the way
