Way of Life
David Blair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But people tell me that freedom's not a point of view
When I'm without you I'm locked inside
No circumstances can make it right
The light that shines inside me when I'm with you
Is true
Is true
Even if it goes slow
Running game in shadows has taken its toll
Running to the light it's time to be bold
Falling into hands that hold me when I need to be held
Makes my ice melt
Love is a way of life with you
Love has a face that matches you
I know it's all that we need so mark my words, mark my words
Never give up on you
How many stairs do I have to climb to care for you
How many seas do I have to swim to share with you
How many songs do I have to sing to sing with you
How many lives do I have to live to live with you
How many times must my heart break to be with you
Love is a way of life with you
Love has a face that matches you
I know its all that we need so mark my words
And tell me what I'm living for cause
I'm living for you (There's nothing more I need to live for)
Now I'm living for you (There's nothing less that I can stand for)
I'm living for you (There's nothing more I need to live for)
Now I'm living for you (There's nothing less that I can stand for)
Love is a way of life with you
Love is a way of life with you
Love is a way of life with you
In David Blair's song "Way of Life," the lyrics convey a deep sense of devotion and sacrifice for love. The singer expresses a willingness to give up everything for the person they are in love with, even if it means sacrificing their own freedom. The lyrics suggest that the light and happiness they feel when they are together is true and genuine.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of love as a way of life, stating that it is all they need. The singer acknowledges that they will never give up on their beloved, no matter how many obstacles they have to face. The repetition of the line "Love has a face that matches you" reinforces the idea that their love is bound to this one person.
The second verse delves into the toll that running from their true feelings has taken on the singer. It illustrates a desire to break free from the shadows and be courageous in embracing their love. The imagery of falling into the hands that hold them symbolizes a sense of security and warmth found in the embrace of their beloved.
