August
Bear Attack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

what would I become without you?
if I had to be without you?
I would be so numb without you,
if I had to be without you
I fall asleep and all that I am seeing
dreams come to me of all that I believe in
seems clear to me that all I ever need is you
what would life be like without you?

nothing would be right without you
what could I believe without you?
oh, I could never live without you
I fall asleep and all that I am seeing
dreams come to me of all that I believe in
seems clear to me that all I ever need is you
you
you make me love
more than I could know
you make me alive
I fall asleep and all that I am seeing
dreams come to me of all that I believe in
seems clear to me that all I ever need is
I fall asleep and all that I am seeing
dreams come to of all that I believe in
seems clear to me that all I ever need is you
you
you make me love

more than I could know
you make me alive
