Bigger Than the World
Esm?e Denters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think my heart might explode
'Cause now I feel the weight
Of your love on me now
From my head down to my toes
And I can't handle nothin' else

I'm staring at the mirror at these clothes
And it's funny, they mean about as much as yesterday
Something is calling me home, me home
I can hear your voice and I'm not afraid

Now I know I'm just a girl
Trying to make my way through this life
But now I feel bigger then the world
With your hand in mine

Like a speeding bullet
Trying to make my way back through the night
And now I feel bigger then the world
With your hand in mine

Boy, I'll take care of the storm
Lets sneak right pass the cloud up where it's warm
I can handle the people
They're just pebbles on a long, long road

Staring at the sky, at those stars
And it's funny, they seem about as far as tomorrow
Something is calling me home, me home
And I'm not afraid

'Cause I can see everything from high above
The earth is a little place next to my love
I can reach from here to where you are
If you look for me in the sky, I'm not that far

Now I know I'm just a girl
Trying to make my way through this life
But now I feel bigger then the world
With your hand in mine

Like a speeding bullet
Trying to make my way back through the night
And now I feel bigger then the world
With your hand in mine

And Now I feel bigger then the trees
That hold the leaves
Bigger then the mountains
That touch the seas
Bigger then the night
That leads to day
Bigger then the waves
That crash at bay

Bigger oh ooh, bigger oh ooh
Bigger oh ooh, oh oh ooh

Bigger, er, er ooh

When all of the world seems to get you down
Just know that I'm always gonna be around
My heart's in my head and that's where it'll stay
I love you too much, just like I did today

Now I know I'm just a girl (girl)
Trying to make my way through this life
(Trying to make it through this life)
But now I feel bigger then the world
(Bigger than the world, bigger than the world)
With your hand in mine
(Hand in mine)

Like a speeding bullet
(Oh-ooh oh-oh bigger)
(Oh-ooh oh-oh bigger)
Trying to make my way back through the night
And now I feel bigger then the world (ooh)
With your hand in mine

Now I know I'm just a girl
Trying to make my way through this life
But now I feel bigger then the world
With your hand in mine

Like a speeding bullet
Trying to make my way back through the night




And now I feel bigger then the world
With your hand in mine
