Where I Belong
Aviators Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spent years waiting for the time
I'd let you see the truth behind
The things I've come to understand
Ten years to learn a simple fact
Now there's no more holding back
You've become part of who I am
And I'd wait a thousand years for you
But I hope that I won't have to
Every moment without you I'm left incomplete

Take me in your arms
'Cuz mine are wide open
I guess I could be wrong
But right now I'm hoping
You can understand the way I feel
Because my love is real
Don't you even think
Just use your heart and
Tell me what you feel
When we're apart and
I want to stay to keep you strong
By your side is where I belong

By your side is where I belong

Feel the wind filling our sails
Hold on, I won't let this fail
I'm never going to let this moment pass
Hours turning into days
Maybe moments come and fade away
But somehow these feelings always last
And all I ask of you is this
When I hit and when I miss
Will you be the one to cheer me on
Will you be the one to

Take me in your arms
'Cuz mine are wide open
I guess I could be wrong
But right now I'm hoping
You can understand the way I feel
Because my love is real
Don't you even think
Just use your heart and
Tell me what you feel
When we're apart and
I want to stay to keep you strong
By your side is where I belong

By your side is where I belong

So on the journey we have left
I'll be here until my final breath
I'll give you every single day
I'll dedicate my life story to you
I'll give you something to hold on to
My heart is yours to take

Take me in your arms
'Cuz mine are wide open
I guess I could be wrong
But right now I'm hoping
You can understand the way I feel
Because my love is real
Don't you even think
Just use your heart and
Tell me what you feel
When we're apart and
I want to stay to keep you strong
By your side is where I belong





By your side is where I belong

What separates this song from all the other "relationship" songs being played on the radio nowadays is that THIS song has ACTUAL feelings in it! And I also notice that he DID do this song for a girl, but not once did he mention a "her" or "she" or anything relating to female OR male in this song. So it could be used for ANY type of relationship! Oh, and it focuses on an emotional level, not on physical like most of the "relationship" songs out there. Props to you, Aviators, for standing out like that, bring REAL to the music world once again.

@nob0dbeat

@DwWarWolf

Hearing this in Incandescent was amazing. I almost cried.

@tristanaustin7924

Man I thought this was a slowed version of incandescent at first?! This is brilliant!

@losersbecomewinners2043

Whenever i listen to either one, i keep thinking “i’ve heard this amazing tune before!”

@mauraclassified4860

Unlike most modern "love" songs, this one talks about the true meaning of love: willing to do what's best for a person and being ever faithful. :) Thank you Aviators, for making me cry.
