Flip and Fill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
