Because of You
Adam Watts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun sun sun sunlight
peaking through
lonely bed
what's undone
starts to right again

From tied to untied
overnight
and back again
from dim to bright
i'm breaking in

(chorus)
Well it's dark here
on the other side of the world
but i'm spinning back toward the light
because of you, because of you
because of you

one heart one mind
one million ways
to fill it in
it's all for you
i'm following

your light is righting
all the wrongs
i'm back again
my line of sight
is straightening

chorus

(bridge)
Because of you
i wanna grow
because of you
i want a living life
because of you
i'm in the know
when it's right it's right





chorus
