Your Song
ALL CAPS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's nothing more that I can do
But every breath I take
Longs for you
Remember when we used to find ourselves without interruption
We'd be just playing guitar, making melodies, and strumming along with the beat
But together we can start a band without a name
I'll sing the lows, you sing the highs
We'll sing until our voices are dry
I think that I'm in love with you
And there's nothing more that I can do
But every breath I take
Longs for you
It's not the same without you here
And I'm trying to persevere
But even when you're so far away
I love you
I love you
Remember the time that I picked you up from the airport
I was just waiting by my car, smile on my face, and my heart was all in a whirl
Thinking how the hell did I end up here
My heart was closed but now I want you near
Then you wrapped your arms and I held you tight
I had the feeling we might make some music tonight
I think that I'm in love with you
And there's nothing more that I can do
But every breath I take
Longs for you
It's not the same without you here
And I'm trying to persevere
But even when you're so far away
I love you
Just to hear you sing
The joy your song brings
That would be music to my ears
Your voice is so far away
This world is so dark and gray
Please let's play that song again
I think that I'm in love with you (Just to hear you sing)
And there's nothing more that I can do (The joy your song brings)
But every breath I take (That would be music to my ears)
Longs for you
It's not the same without you here (Your voice is so far away)
And I'm trying to persevere (This world is so dark and gray)
But even when you're so far away (Please let's play that song again)
I love you
