Best Shot
Birdy Jaymes Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're on your own and you feel lost
When your heart's a mess though you've given your best

I'll be here giving it my best shot baby your loves got more then I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me

When your sky is dark and the earth is shaking your bed
Your hope is at its end you just need one friend

I'll be here giving it my best shot baby your loves got all that I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me

When you cant find you're way and all around you walks as deep and grey
The stars fall from above and you're barely holding on my love (on my love)

Giving it my best shot baby your loves got all that I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe




Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me

LYRICS, GUYS

When you're on your own
And you're feeling lost
When your heart's a mess
Though you've given your best

I'll be here, giving it my best shot baby
Your love's got all that I need
Here, crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe

Here, giving it my best shot
Baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me

When your sky is dark
And the earth is shaking your bed
Your hope is at it's end
You just need one friend

I'll be here, giving it my best shot baby
Your love's got all that I need
Here, crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe

Here, giving it my best shot
Baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me

When you can't find your way
And all around you turns deep and gray
The stars fall from above
And you're barely holding on, my love
(Holding on, my love)

Giving it my best shot baby
Your love's got all that I need
Here, crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe

Here, giving it my best shot
Baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me
