Show Me
Elliott Yamin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Needed to talk
Pick up the phone and started to call
That?s when It hit me that u were gone
So many questions
Things that?s been said
So much confusion
And so may reasons that just don?t make sense
I try
To carry on but something?s missing inside
I just wanna know if u were above me
Show me some kind a sign
Do u still hear me
When I call your name?
Will u be with me when I lose my way
When it gets hard let me know what to do
U always told me that u never go
I need u to show me that I?m not alone
Do u still hear me when I sing for u
Show me u do
How do I start to
Make sense what?s left
Still carry a memory of u in my head
And Im just not ready to let u go yet
Oo no
But I know u?r proud of
The way that I am
That u would want me to go on ahead
I give it all off see u again
I try
To carry on but something?s missing inside
I just need to know if u were above me
Show me some kind a sign
Do u still hear me
When I call your name?
Will u be with me when I lose my way
When it gets hard let me know what to do
U always told me that u never go
I need u to show me that I?m not alone
Do u still hear me when I sing for u
Show me u do

The singer tries to move on with his life, but he feels like something is missing.

The singer remembers the person and carries their memory with them, but they're not ready to let go yet.
The chorus repeats the singer's need for a sign from the person who passed away, whether it's when they call their name or sing for them.

Heard this today on the radio. Cranked it up and starting jammin to it. I thought it was a new song, and I was happy cuz it sounded like stuff from my younger years. Looked it up on YouTube and couldn't believe this song came out 13 yrs ago. Never heard of it. Such a great song and he sings so beautiful. Wish they still made music like this...
@colinroberts2060
It was actually first released in March 2007. But not uploaded to YouTube until October of '09. I myself didn't know its name until February of this year.
