Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where where you to hold my hand?
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand

Where were you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned
Guess I need you by my side when things go crazy
I just need to know you care
Guarantee that you'll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?
I don't care how far I'll take you there
Tonight, just tell me where you are
And everything's gonna be alright

Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Wanna fly, just to be with you tonight

Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Wanna fly, just to be with you tonight

Where were you to hold my hand?

Where were you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned
Guess I need you by my side when things go crazy
I just need to know you care
Guarantee that you'll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?
I don't care how far I'll take you there
Tonight, just tell me where you are
And everything's gonna be alright

Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Wherever you are you're gonna see me fly

Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Wanna fly, just to be with you tonight

Like a shooting star




Across the midnight sky
Wanna fly, just to be with you tonight

The Rolling Stones - Flip The Switch (Live Official)
I got my money, my ticket
All that shit
I even got myself 
A little shaving kit
What would it take
To bury me
I can't wait
I can't wait to see
Flip the switch
