Where You Are
Danna Richards Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lucky charm
Fell into the arms of a flyaway flyaway plane
The Sunrise
Fell into the eyes of a wide awake wide awake man

Things change and people go away but
I'm here, I'm here to stay cause
Where you are is where I'm safe and

Where you are is where I feel awake and
Where you are is where I want to stay
This heart is where you are
This heart is where you are

Parachute
Became a noose from a change of heart, change of heart turn
Cold feet
Frozen to the streets of an on again off again burn

Things change and people go away but
I'm here, I'm here to stay cause
Where you are is where I'm safe and
Where you are is where I feel awake and
Where you are is where I want to stay
This heart is where you are
This heart is where you are

When the room
You fallow
Twist and turn
To sorrow you
And destination change
I will stay

Where you are
Where you are
I'll stay where you are
I'll stay where you are
Cause this heart is where you are

Things Change and people go away
But I'm here I'm here to stay
Cause where you are is where I'm safe
And where you are is where I feel awake
And where you are is where I wanna stay

This heart is where you are

Ohh
This heart is where you are

The song starts off with the singer saying that they fell into the arms of a flyaway plane and the eyes of a wide awake man, emphasizing how much they have let go to be with the person they love. The lyrics then go on to talk about the uncertainties in life and how people tend to come and go, but the singer's love for the person in question is steadfast. They declare that where their loved one is, is where they feel safe, awake, and where they want to stay forever. The chorus repeats the line "This heart is where you are," which shows the depth of the singer's feelings.

The second verse talks about a change of heart that turns a parachute into a noose and how love can be like being frozen to the streets of an on-again, off-again burn. But the singer again asserts that they will still stay with the person they love no matter where life takes them. The bridge then talks about when everything falls apart, and destinies change, the singer still wants to stay where their loved one is. Overall, the song is a love letter to the person that the singer loves, commitment to them regardless of what life may throw their way.
