Save Me
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He wants to hold the children up high
When they come tearing through the ride
To save you from falling
To save them
From falling

He wants to bring a little bring a little honey
To the saltiness of grief
To come up from underneath, you used to say
you would rescue me
You yourself
Lost at sea

Save me and I'll save you
Save me and I'll save you
Make ways to get through
Together
Save me and I'll save you
Save me and I'll save you
Make ways to get through
Together

Save me and I'll save you
Save me and I'll save you




Make ways to get through
Together

He wants to hold the children up high
When they come tearing through the rye
To save them from falling
To save them from falling

He wants to bring a little honey
To the saltiness of grief
To come up from underneath
You used to say that you would rescue me
But you yourself are lost at sea

Save me and I'll save you
Save me and I'll save you
Pave ways to get through together

Save me and I'll save you
Save me and I'll save you
Pave ways to get through together

Save me and I'll save you
Save me and I'll save you
Pave ways to get through together
