Munich Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take all you know and you let it go
Inside the snow begins to fall
Step to the edge, you and I
And we fall below
Take a breath, hold my hand
And now you're not alone

[Bridge]
Girl you know, it terrifies me
And I don't know why
There you go, you paralyze me
And I don't know why

[Chorus]
Everything
Was black and white and gray
But walls are shaking
When you're touching me
Changes everything
When you're close to me

[Verse 2]
We're back to back, hand to hand, face to face again
Lovers and enemies, then we're back two friends
Something left holding us, pulls me closer in
Take a breath and the color will return again
[Bridge]
Girl you know, it terrifies me
And I don't know why
There you go, you paralyze me
And I don't know why

[Chorus]
Everything
Was black and white and gray
But walls are shaking
When you're touching me
Changes everything
Changes everything
The walls are sinking
Changes everything
When you're close to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
