Chrishan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And on the other side of town i wasn't from behind
They said i can't resist the .. for the love
But ever since we've met our hearts just open up.
Who knows this way going on
What's going on?
Look at what we've started, started
Chorus:
We're from two different places stuck in this world
And from two different planets
We fell in love, here on the earth
Here on the earth.
If someone like you could really change my life,
And now that i found what i ain't ...
We got the rest of our lives.
Boy you got my heart, anything you need
I do it right from the start yeah
...baby you ain't got to ask
You're the best thing i have hey.
Who knows this way going on
What's going on?
Look at what we've started, started
'cause i'm from venus you're from mars yeah.
Chorus:
We're from two different places stuck in this world
And from two different planets
We fell in love, here on the earth
Here on the earth.

I ain't going nowhere baby
Now that you're here oh
[chorus:]
On earth yeah, on earth yeah,
On earth yeah, on earth yeah,

The lyrics of Chrishan ft Che'Nelle's song "Here On Earth" revolve around the idea that two people from completely different backgrounds have fallen deeply in love. Despite being from "two different planets" and "two different places stuck in this world," they have found a connection that transcends all external differences. The song speaks to the power of true love - how it can bring two people together despite all odds.
The lines "I wasn't fond of that so there's out from sky / And on the other side of town I wasn't far behind" could suggest that the two protagonists initially lived quite separate lives, but eventually found their way to each other. The lyrics further suggest that the people around them - perhaps friends, family or society - were initially hesitant about their love, but have now come around and accept it.

I was fun of that so there 's out from sky
I was feeling down and out and then something amazing happened unexpectedly.
And on the other side of town i wasn't from behind
Even though we come from different places, we found each other.
They said i can't resist the .. for the love
People told me I shouldn't fall in love with you because we're so different, but I couldn't help myself.
But ever since we've met our hearts just open up.
But since we've been together, we've both become more open and vulnerable with each other.
Who knows this way going on
We don't know what the future holds for us.
What's going on?
What's happening between us and where will it lead?
