Analysis of Walking The Line
Another line on the ground
To the left, walk pass the sweets smell
Tears in my eyes begins to fade away
When I start drifting away
Far beyond paradise feelings emerge
Somewhere in another place
Looking into another’s eyes
Seeing the emotions come down so hard
Walking the line bears too much pain
Don’t follow me now
You’ll see why I draw these line
To follow myself into shame
