Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I called you back, to a place beside me.
Love found us easily, and if that's all we have you will find we need nothing more.
And I called you back, to a place beside me.
And every time we kiss, we find ourselves in love again.
And the older that we get, we know that nothing else for us is possible.
And I called you back, to a place beside me.
And I called you back, to a place beside me.
And I was quiet, well I heard your voice in everything.
And I called you back, to the place beside me.
And I called you back, to a place beside me.
And I called you back, to a place beside me.

Usually when i hear songs about love that touch me deeply i think at once of all the people I loved in my life and they dance in my head. I heard this song and read some of the comments and suddenly I started thinking of all the people who loved all the people, everyone and everyone they loved. It was beautiful, I cried, all of dancing in my head.

The first time I heard this song, was probably the first time I've had a song reach into my emotions and just hold them.
I cried silently for about an hour afterwards
