When I Found You
Amber Pacific Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long distance signal, can you hear me?
No one will stop me here tonight
I, I know that it can hurt sometimes
I watched you standing at the back gate
Dressed up and talking to a new face
You don't know why you can't sleep at night
Get off this roller coaster ride
But you want me here
Your heart is clearly reeling
And as the end draws near
Will you come back to me?
Chorus
If I could just get by, just for one more night
I would fight to set you free
And when you've lost all hope
You may never know just how great your life could be
But I'm lost in the moment
Please, tell me how I can't find the reasons to say what I'll say
My life was complete when I found you
That night the lights were shining all wrong
Two hearts, a perfect little love song
Do you still think of me?
My heart won't let me be
Chorus
Alex Gaskarth
So tell me how to deal without her
I've been searching up and down this coast
I've learned enough to save forever
But I still miss you coming home
So help me understand your reasons
Seeing something I refused to lose
I've been trapped inside a world that's spinning
On a course that's set for two
If this were heaven, then I'd die for you
Chorus

This time I'm burning up the airwaves
I am using the power of radio to get to you
Long distance signal, can you hear me?
I hope this signal reaches you wherever you are
No one will stop me here tonight
Nothing will get in the way of me sending this message
I, I know that it can hurt sometimes
I understand that love can be painful
I watched you standing at the back gate
I saw you from a distance
Dressed up and talking to a new face
You look nice and seem to be enjoying yourself with someone else
You don't know why you can't sleep at night
You're having trouble sleeping and don't know why
Get off this roller coaster ride
Stop going through ups and downs
But you want me here
You want me to be with you
Your heart is clearly reeling
You're feeling emotional and overwhelmed
And as the end draws near
As things come to an end
Will you come back to me?
Will you return to our relationship?
If I could just get by, just for one more night
If I could just hold on a little longer
I would fight to set you free
I would do anything to help you find happiness
And when you've lost all hope
When everything seems hopeless
You may never know just how great your life could be
You may not realize your full potential
But I'm lost in the moment
I'm caught up in this feeling
Please, tell me how I can't find the reasons to say what I'll say
I can't think of a reason not to tell you how I feel
My life was complete when I found you
You made my life feel complete
That night the lights were shining all wrong
Things didn't feel right that night
Two hearts, a perfect little love song
Our relationship was once perfect
Do you still think of me?
Do you ever think about me?
My heart won't let me be
I can't stop caring about you
So tell me how to deal without her
How do I move on without you?
I've been searching up and down this coast
I've been looking for you everywhere
I've learned enough to save forever
I've learned valuable lessons that will stay with me
But I still miss you coming home
I miss having you in my life
So help me understand your reasons
Please explain why things happened the way they did
Seeing something I refused to lose
I didn't appreciate what I had until it was gone
I've been trapped inside a world that's spinning
I feel lost and confused
On a course that's set for two
Our lives were on a path together
If this were heaven, then I'd die for you
I care about you so much that I would do anything for you
