It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page. - Joan Baez

I Thought I Had It With You
Eric Lumiere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its in your eyes
Im not ready for a big surprise
But I know Im just in denial
You hold my hand and smile at me
You make my past history
And I have no choice
Time has gone away
And now its back to play
A game with me
Gotta find love to stop it
Oh I thought I had it with you
Wake me up when youre alone
Cause I dont want to wake without a home
To stay in bed all day with you
With nothing else to do
Sorry but I cannot come and laugh with you
Our crazy ways
It makes me want to kiss you
When I go to sleep Ill miss you
Time has gone away
And now its back to play
A game with me
Gotta find love to stop it
Oh I thought I had it with you

The video is great. This is how Diane and I feel when we hear the lyrics that perfectly fits with the sound of the song. The love that binds us together is experienced as being on the edge of this life, in which we are one mind with two bodies. Jumping into the unknown, not knowing the results when "jumping of the cliff", for us this means escaping the ego in our mind that constantly tries to proof we are two minds, will free us from the false belief that we are not One. It is in belief that we manifest new experiences and fear is our own adversary by providing limitations that truely do not exist except in our mind. Can't wait to see you guys back in another edge of life, Phoenix AZ in the summer. Last time you guys were here in New Year's Eve and it was damn cold. Can't say this now, won't go below 30C at night and 42-45C during the day. Edge of Live must be number 1!
