Where'd You Go
Boy & Bear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crawling under mane of feelings
Holding on a shaky light
Show me more than gold and glory
As the way you hold me tight

But I swear, I won’t
Drag you down, you’re worth better than me
And I know, my love,
For so long, you’re worth better than me

(And) if you wanna go
Tell me what remains?
Your smile hangs on the wall
It’s all that remains
If you wanna know
(The) sky will not replace
(The) fire and the flood
Hide tears on my face

Fallen from the stars
I was a fool and you were blind
Can you still belong to me?
Hold me like you did
I still need a place
To hide from myself

And if you wanna go
Tell me what remains?
Your smile hangs on the wall
It’s all that remains
‘cause, If you wanna know
The sky will not replace

The fire and the flood
Hide tears on my face.
