Crawl Lyrics
High on a hill
Heard a bird sing her song
Sang you were true
Well, she got it all wrong
She didn't know about your lies
And all your stupid alibis
Don't you know this bird got wise
Surprise, surprise, surprise
The writing's on the wall
Yeah, Yeah
In letters written tall
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
I will see you crawl
Fell off the hill
Into darkest of dreams
Promises broke
Ripped apart at the seams
So now you know this bird has flown
You will repay me what you owe
Don't you know you're gonna live
Alone, alone, alone
The writing's on the wall
Yeah, Yeah
In letters written tall
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
You made a big mistake
Yeah, Yeah
Signed and sealed your fat
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
I will see you crawl
I'll wait till the night comes
In the darkness you are no one
I'll wait till the night comes
Until I know all your shadows are gone
The writing's on the wall
Yeah, Yeah
With letters written tall
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
You made a big mistake
Yeah, Yeah
Signed and sealed your fate
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
I will see you crawl
I will see you crawl
Heard a bird sing her song
Sang you were true
Well, she got it all wrong
And all your stupid alibis
Don't you know this bird got wise
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Yeah, Yeah
In letters written tall
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
I will see you crawl
Into darkest of dreams
Promises broke
Ripped apart at the seams
You will repay me what you owe
Don't you know you're gonna live
Alone, alone, alone
Yeah, Yeah
In letters written tall
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
You made a big mistake
Yeah, Yeah
Signed and sealed your fat
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
I will see you crawl
In the darkness you are no one
I'll wait till the night comes
Until I know all your shadows are gone
Yeah, Yeah
With letters written tall
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
You made a big mistake
Yeah, Yeah
Signed and sealed your fate
Yeah, Yeah
I thought I let you know before I go
I will see you crawl
I will see you crawl

Ok this is a very metaphorical song to me. In verse 1 "High on a hill Heard a bird sing her song Sang you were true Well, she got it all wrong" She explains how she was blind to see the truth about her boyfriend. High on a hill means she is "high in love" Verse 2 "She didn't know about your lies And all your stupid alibis Don't you know this bird got wise Surprise, surprise, surprise" She now explains how the more he lied and used alibis the wiser she became still refering to herself as the bird.
Verse 3 "Fell off the hill Into darkest of dreams Promises broke Ripped apart at the seams" She explains how she fell out of love (fell off the hill) because of the promises he broke. Verse 4. "So now you know this bird has flown You will repay me what you owe Don't you know you're gonna live Alone, alone, alone"
This verse pretty much sums up the whole song, "so now you know this bird has flown away" means she left him "You will repay me what you owe Don't you know you're gonna live Alone, alone, alone" means the only way he can repay her what he owes is to live alone as she knows he will because of the way he treats his "loved" ones.
great song
