Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is where
We'll shake the nightmare free
I dream to hold you in my arms
I dream to hold you in my arms
To hold you in my arms
Wide awake in my arms
I think I've figured it out
We need to be together
Like the shore and the sea
We are not one thing
We're drawn here together
My ocean and me
I dream to hold you in my arms
I dream to hold you in my arms
To hold you in my arms
Wide awake in my arms
Love we sleep apart
For the last time
For the last time
I dream to hold you in my arms
I dream to hold you in my arms
To hold you in my arms
Wide awake in my arms
Wide awake in my arms
Wide awake in my arms
Wide awake in my arms

Aqui,
Minha querida,
É onde
Nós nos livraremos do pesadelo
Eu sonho
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Eu sonho
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Bem acordada
Em meus braços...
Acho que imaginei isso
Temos de ficar juntos
Como o litoral e o mar
Nós não somos só um
Estamos desenhados aqui juntos
Meu oceano e eu...
Eu sonho
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Eu sonho
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Bem acordada
Em meus braços
Amor,
Nós dormimos separados
Pela última vez
Pela última vez
Eu sonho
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Eu sonho
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Em segurá-la em meus braços
Bem acordada
Em meus braços
Bem acordada
Em meus braços
Bem acordada
Em meus braços
Bem acordada
Em meus braços

I imagine Jesus singing
this song to me from
Heaven and when HE
returns - I am finally in His
Arms. Wide awake
💛💛💛
Love you Jon!

I had my first dance to this song. I'm no longer married to him, but when I hear this song I fall in love again

Underrated Masterpiece 😢

I realized something.
I can’t have a love like this if I’m not a whole person.
Two halves don’t make a whole, two wholes make a whole, and I’m taking a year (plus a few days) without any kind of dating or flirting.
This is sadly the last time I’ll listen to this song till 3/1/21, but it’ll also be the first thing I listen to that day as a reminder.
Wish me luck, hopefully I’ll be a much better person the next time I’m here.

good luckk😍💔

Jesus got you.
Isaiah 49:15
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!

Learn to love what you already have. Then it comes so naturally. It’s like a law of love
