To Get To You
Damien Leith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what to say
To make you happy
When everything is passed
Is left to nothing
All the pieces that you bring
A lie is stranded
CHORUS:
I'm chasing down the highway
I'm lying a runway
My life is going no where
Trying to get to you
God only knows that
I've been here once before
But im gonna get to you
I don't know what to do
To make you want me
Coz nothing is breaking though
The place your hiding
All the colours that you bring
Are turning red
CHORUS
I can make you understand
That living without you
I can make you understand
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
CHORUS
I'm chasing down the highway
I'm lying a runway
My life is going no where
Trying to get to you
I'll never know what my life has installed
God only knows that
I've been here once before




But im gonna get to you
Im gonna get to you

Overall Meaning

In Damien Leith's "To Get to You," the singer is attempting to reconcile with a partner and seems to be struggling to connect with them. The first stanza indicates his difficulty in making his partner happy despite his attempts. Even when the partner brings all the pieces, he seems unable to make it work, and instead, everything turns into nothing. The second and third stanzas show how he is trying to find his partner, chasing down highways and lying on runways, trying to get her.


The chorus plays a pivotal role in showcasing his desperation to get back with his partner, sending a message that he's been there before, and God only knows his struggles. However, he promises not to give up because he's going to get to her. In the final stanza, the singer shows that he understands the gravity of losing her and vows to make her understand that his life isn’t complete without her in it.

I have always loved this song, even after more than 5 years I still play it. The album it comes from - Remember June is brilliant

Yun Cho

He definitely deserves more than this...

Jim Bob

I didn't really dig him much on Australian Idol & I got this Remember June album on a whim. I was surprised at how absolutely brilliant it is. If you like this song you'll just love the album.
