People Come People Go
David Guetta - Chris Willis - Joachim Garraud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But your touch cuts me deeper
And still it grows at the center
I will always remember
Years gone by
Seems like you're still here
Every night in my dreams
I will always remember
Never been one to give my heart up so easily
But now you're gone wish I'd given my heart completely
In the touch of a stranger I can feel you
In the eyes of a child I see your face
Your hold on my soul
Keeps me from danger
No matter how hard I try
These memories I can't erase
People come and people go
But your touch cuts me deeper
And still it grows at the center
I will always remember
Years gone by
Seems like you're still here
Every night in my dreams
You remind me with kisses so tender
I will always remember
In the brush of a stranger I can feel you
In the eyes of a child I see your face
Your hold on my soul
Keeps me from danger
No matter how hard I try
These memories I can't replace.
The song "People Come People Go" by David Guetta featuring Chris Willis, is a poignant reminder of the lasting impact that a person can have on someone's life, even after they have left. The lyrics speak about the transience of people in our lives - how they come and go - but one person's touch has cut so deep that it is impossible to forget.
The song is an ode to lost love - the kind that we never get over, and the kind that stays with us always. The melancholic lyrics of the song are filled with nostalgia, as the singer recalls the memories of a person who has left - a person who continues to haunt their thoughts and dreams.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "People come and people go, but your touch cuts me deeper, and still it grows at the center, I will always remember" - underscoring the idea that while people may leave our lives, the impact they have made on us remains. The song speaks to the universal human experience of loss and heartbreak, and how we carry the memories of those we have loved long after they are gone.
