Be With You
Bangles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The rain starts to fall
And the wind blows
Through an empty hall
In the mirror
Reflections of you
In the distance I hear a sound
Oh, what you gonna do
I think I should be with you
A love that's overdue
Oh I think I should be with you
Thought I saw you
In a stranger's face
Should I call you
Or should I walk away
'Round the corner
Is around the world
Is that you looking at me
Or am I living a dream
And when I'm lost in a dream
You are all I can see
All alone in the night I'm waiting for you
Every moment I'd die
Just to look in your eyes
The dream is alive
I'm waiting
Oh my, how I try
To make you see that
I should be with you

They consider the possibility of their lover being somewhere else in the world, looking back at them. The following lines describe the singer's persistent longing for their lover despite the distance, as they wait alone in the night hoping to see them. The dream of being with their lover is alive, and they will do anything to make it a reality.

Out my window
Looking out of the window
The rain starts to fall
Rainfall starts
And the wind blows
Wind blows
Through an empty hall
In an empty room
In the mirror
Looking in the mirror
Reflections of you
Seeing your reflection
In the distance I hear a sound
Hearing a sound in the distance
Is that you coming around
Is it you coming closer
Oh, what you gonna do
What are you going to do
I think I should be with you
I feel I should be with you
A love that's overdue
A love that should have happened already
Thought I saw you
Thinking I saw you
In a stranger's face
Seeing you in a stranger's face
Should I call you
Should I contact you
Or should I walk away
Or should I leave it alone
'Round the corner
Around the corner
Is around the world
Feels like it's far away
Is that you looking at me
Is it you looking my way
Or am I living a dream
Or am I imagining it
And when I'm lost in a dream
When I'm lost in my thoughts
You are all I can see
You're the only thing on my mind
All alone in the night I'm waiting for you
Alone, waiting for you
Every moment I'd die
I'd do anything for you
Just to look in your eyes
Just to see you
The dream is alive
The idea of us is still alive
I'm waiting
I'm waiting patiently
Oh my, how I try
Trying so hard
To make you see that
To make you understand
I should be with you
We should be together

Pure talent. Why are they not in the rock and roll hall of fame?
@giampi180
Everyone including us (fans) can nominate the band if they approve the nomination. So the guilty can also be us. I don‘t know if they already had nominations, anyway the nominees must have a history of charitable contributions and they did it. It's unclear whether the requested 40K or 50K (75K 2023) should be sent to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce along with the nomination or after the application has already been accepted. However the first thing to do is to ask their permission "Vicki Susanna Debbi".....(and Annette or Micki?)
Bangles‘ hits have at least 100 mln more views than GoGo‘s.
If any fan club collects signatures and offers for their nomination for the star in the Walk of Fame let me know!

@Giampi there is politic here. Just not sure what it is.

@@giampi180 Maybe one or all are a little too wholesome for the couch. Movie and music industry are nothing but sick and perverted effers.

I’m wondering the same thing
@MrBadgerFan
Fantastic song, my favorite Bangles tune! Debbi's voice is awesome, and so is Micki's bass!
@vvvvvv6365
Their two best songs are both with Debbie´s voice. Other one is Some dreams come true.

I’ve always considered The Bangles in this video as the quintessential girl rockstar band. The perfect balance between sexiness, beauty and talent.
