Fit For Rivals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the way that my heart burns
Love, so pure
That I can't put it into words
When I fall down and my heart hit rocks
You are there to lift me up
You're my light that shines
Yeah, I love you
Whoa, how could I ever live without you by my side?
You're my light that shines
How could I ever live without you by my side?
You're my light that shines
How could I ever live without you?
Whoa
You, hold the key to every part of me
I will take on all your suffering
When I fall down and my heart hit rocks
You are there to lift me up
You're my light that shines
My evangeline and I love you
Yeah, I love you
Whoa, how could I ever live without you by my side?
You're my light that shines
How could I ever live without you by my side?
You're my light that shines
How could I ever!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(How could I ever live without you)
Oh-whoa-oh-oh-whoa
Whoa, how could I ever live without you by my side?
You're my light that shines
How could I ever live without you by my side?
You're my light that shines, you're my light
How could I ever live without you by my side?
You're my light that shines
How could I ever live without you by my side?
You're my light that shines
How could I ever live without you?

The chorus then begins with a question – how could the singer ever live without their partner by their side? The answer is that their partner is their "light that shines," and they love them deeply. The second verse furthers this love by saying that their partner holds the key to every part of the singer, and that they are willing to take on their partner's suffering as well.
Overall, the song is a testament to the deep bond between two people in love. The singer feels that their partner is the only thing that can ease their pain and bring them happiness, and they can't imagine living without them.
