About You
David.Dorian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then suddenly you were standing there
I was mesmerized, almost petrified
How could someone make me feel this way?
Even if the world stopped turning
Even if the lights will fade
While the storm will rage your arms will
Be my shelter for the rain
You are more than just my friend
When you're next to me I know that
You are more than I could wish I'd had
I can't tell you how I'm happy in your arms
Cause your smile is brighter than 4th of July
And this song I wrote about you is my try
To let you know that 'cause of you I'm on cloud nine
I gave you my heart it was ruptured once
Shattered pieces placed into your hands
You could fix it once, but you fixed it twice
Now our hearts beat like it's paradise
Even if the world stopped turning
Even if the lights will fade
While the storm will rage your arms will
Be my shelter for the rain
You are more than just a lover
You are more than just my friend
When you're next to me I know that
You are more than I could wish I'd had
Even if the world stopped turning
Even if the lights will fade
While the storm will rage your arms will
Be my shelter for the rain
You are more than just a lover
You are more than just my friend
When you're next to me I know that
You are more than I could wish I'd had
I can't tell you how I'm happy in your arms
Cause your smile is brighter than 4th of July
And this song I wrote about you is my try
To let you know that 'cause of you I'm on cloud nine
Even if the world stopped turning
Even if the lights will fade
While the storm will rage your arms will
Be my shelter for the rain
You are more than just a lover
You are more than just my friend
When you're next to me I know that
You are more than I could wish I'd had
The lyrics to David.Dorian's "About You" express a deep gratitude and appreciation for the presence of the person they love. The song opens with the acknowledgement that the singer had been searching for someone special, and then the beloved suddenly appeared. The experience was overwhelming to the point of paralysis, as if they had struck gold when they found the person they had been looking for. Even if the world were to end, the storm were to rage, or the lights were to grow dim, the person who is the subject of the song would be their shelter in the rain. They go on to state that this person is more than a lover, even more than just a friend; they are everything the singer had never dared to hope for.
The metaphor of being taken to "cloud nine" is used to describe how happy the singer is in their lover's arms. The heart that the singer had given to someone else before was broken, but this new love interest was able to fix it not once, but twice. The two hearts are now in sync, beating in unison like paradise. As a result, they use the song to express how happy they are and to let the person know how much they mean to them.

I was looking for but couldn't find the one
I had been searching for a special someone, but was unable to find them
And then suddenly you were standing there
However, you appeared just when I had given up my search
I was mesmerized, almost petrified
I was enthralled and taken aback by your presence
How could someone make me feel this way?
You had a profound effect on my emotions that I couldn't quite understand
Even if the world stopped turning
Nothing in the world could stop my love for you
Even if the lights will fade
I will still hold on to the feelings I have for you even if things turn dark
While the storm will rage your arms will
You will be my support and comfort during difficult times
Be my shelter for the rain
You are the person who can shield me from the harsh realities of life
You are more than just a lover
You are more than just someone who I have romantic feelings for
You are more than just my friend
You are also more than just a companion or confidant
When you're next to me I know that
Your presence reassures me and brings me comfort
You are more than I could wish I'd had
You are everything I could have ever hoped for and more
I can't tell you how I'm happy in your arms
I cannot express how much joy and contentment your embrace brings me
Cause your smile is brighter than 4th of July
Your warm smile lights up my world more than any fireworks celebration
And this song I wrote about you is my try
This song is my sincere attempt to express my feelings for you
To let you know that 'cause of you I'm on cloud nine
You are the reason for my happiness and euphoria
I gave you my heart it was ruptured once
I entrusted you with my heart even though it had been broken before
Shattered pieces placed into your hands
I gave you the broken fragments of my heart to heal and care for
You could fix it once, but you fixed it twice
You not only mended my heart once, but you did it again when it was broken again
Now our hearts beat like it's paradise
Our love is so strong and pure that it feels like we are in paradise
