Drawn inexorably into the vortex of mass success, 1927 swiftly lost control, playing out a familiar rock tune: the group's second album, The Other Side, failed to match the sales of its predecessor and 1927 gradually slipped from view even as it began to buckle under the strain of touring.
Today, Eric Weideman is living in Perth maintaining a solo career and reforms 1927 every now and then.
A World Without You
1927 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been a dreamer since the day you came
I wanna hold you now and keep you near
I dream and sigh and then you disappear
I wanna sit beneath a tree and stare
Run my fingers through your hair
I can't stand these words
I can't stand the thought of one more-ore day
In a world where I can't hold you I can't stay
I sit and wonder how you're feelin' now
I wonder is it love and don't know how
I want to throw these silly words away
And save the talkin' for another day
I wanna touch your heart, see if it skips
I want to put my finger on your lips
I can't stand these words
What can I say-ay to make it okay
I can't stand the thought of one more-ore day
In a world where I can't hold you I can't stay
I can't stand the thought
Can't ease this pain
I can't stand these words
Can't ease this pain
I can't stand the thought of one more-ore day
I can't sleep
I can't eat
I can't ease this pai-ain
I can't stand these words
What can I say to make it okay
I can't stand the thought of one more-ore day
In a world where I can't hold you I can't stay
In a world where I can't hold you I can't stay
What can I say
To make it okay
What can I say
