Get Here
Alexia Gardner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can reach me by trail-way
You can reach me on an airplane,
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan,
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here,
You can reach me by sail boat,
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope,
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt,
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here,
Just, get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us,
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need,
I need you closer
You can windsurf into my life,
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon,
But you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan,
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here,
Just, get here if you can
I don't care, I don't care,
I need you right here, right now
Oh, I need you
See, I don't care, I don't care
No, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care how'll you get here
Just get here
If you, you can
