Looking for You
Fred Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come along, tell me if you will, tell me if you'll see it through, tell me you will
Close enough, close enough to kill, close enough to see your eyes fill with guilt
So far away, but I'm caring still, caring cus I'm ready to follow your will
Slow it down, fire burning still, slow enough to follow you up the hill
Of love and misery, waterfalls of tears you bleed
Wonder far as eyes can see, right at home we'd rather be
Cause it's all I ever wanted, it's all I'll ever need
It's the only thing I'll ask for, so will you please just promise
If we end up being strangers, don't pretend to forget me,
Don't pretend you don't remember all the nights you'd cry to me
And that's all I ask for you, for you, for you
Come along, tell me if you will, tell me if it's really true, tell me you will
True enough, but it's gone downhill, true enough to finish our song we built
So far away, but I'm searching still, searching for the reason you, took a blue pill
Wasted love, wasted love you spilt, never gonna stop climbing up the hill
Of love and misery, waterfalls of tears you bleed
Wonder far as eyes can see, right at home we'd rather be
Cause it's all I ever wanted, it's all I'll ever need
It's the only thing I'll ask for, so will you please just promise
If we end up being strangers, don't pretend to forget me,




Don't pretend you don't remember all the nights you'd cry to me
And that's all I ask for you, for you, for you

You are everything I've ever wanted and everything I need


It's the only thing I'll ask for, so will you please just promise

I still want you to remember the nights you cried on my shoulder


And that's all I ask for you, for you, for you
This is still all I ask of you, just this
