We Walk the Same Line
Everything But the Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can have mine
And if you're lost I'm right behind
'Cause we walk the same line
Now I don't have to tell you
How slow the night can go
I know you've watched for the light
And I bet you could tell me
How slowly four follows three
And you're most forlorn
Just before dawn
And so, if you loose your faith, babe
You can have mine
And if you're lost I'm right behind
'Cause we walk the same line
When it's dark, baby
There's a light out shinin'
And if you're lost I'm right behind
Cause we walk the same line
And I don't need remindin'
How loud the phone can ring
When you're waiting for news
And that big old moon
Lights every corner of the room
Your back aches from lying
And your head aches from crying
And so, if you loose your faith, babe
You can have mine
And if you're lost I'm right behind
'Cause we walk the same line
When it's dark, baby
There's a light out shinin'
And if you're lost I'm right behind
'Cause we walk the same line
And if these troubles should vanish
Like rain at midday
Well I've no doubt there'll be more
And we can't run and we can't cheat
'Cause baby when we meet
What we're afraid of
We find out what we're made of
And so, if you loose your faith, babe
You can have mine
And if you're lost I'm right behind
'Cause we walk the same line
When it's dark, baby
There's a light out shinin'
And if you're lost I'm right behind
'Cause we walk the same line
And if you're lost I'm right behind
Cause we walk the same line
Walk the same line
And if you're lost I'm right behind
'Cause we walk the same line

If you lose your faith, babe
If you're feeling disillusioned, I can share my belief with you
You can have mine
I am willing to offer my support to you
And if you're lost I'm right behind
You're not alone in your struggle, I'm there for you
'Cause we walk the same line
We face similar challenges in life
When it's dark, baby
In difficult times
There's a light out shinin'
There is hope and positivity to be found
And I don't need remindin'
I already know how hard things can be
How loud the phone can ring
The anticipation of bad news can be overwhelming
When you're waiting for news
The feeling of helplessness when waiting for something out of your control
And that big old moon
Even the biggest source of light can't fully dispel the darkness
Lights every corner of the room
The extent of the current situation is fully illuminated
Your back aches from lying
The emotional toll of the situation is physically felt
And your head aches from crying
The emotional distress is overwhelming
And if these troubles should vanish
If things get better
Like rain at midday
Suddenly and without warning
Well I've no doubt there'll be more
We can't avoid difficulties entirely
And we can't run and we can't cheat
We can't escape troubles through dishonest means
'Cause baby when we meet
When we face our problems head-on
What we're afraid of
Our fears and anxieties
We find out what we're made of
We discover our true strength and resilience
And if you're lost I'm right behind
I'll be there to support you through it all
Walk the same line
We're in this together

How slow the night can go
I know you've watched for the light
And I bet you could tell me

And so, if you loose your faith, babe
You can have mine
And if you're lost I'm right behind
'Cause we walk the same line
When it's dark, baby
There's a light out shinin'
And if you're lost I'm right behind
Cause we walk the same line
And I don't need remindin'
How loud the phone can ring
When you're waiting for news
And that big old moon
Lights every corner of the room
Your back aches from lying
And your head aches from crying
And so, if you loose your faith, babe
You…
