Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside misunderstanding lines you have gone
Maybe there's time for something more than what we've done
Wishing not to hold you down with iron binds
Is this day and this time
Is yours is mine
I walked along the walls and there I saw your name
I choose to spend my feelings chance, play the game
That the rain and the shine
Is yours is mine
Is yours is mine

Line by Line Meaning
Is yours is mine
The possession of what is yours simultaneously belongs to me
Inside misunderstanding lines you have gone
You have traversed within communication barriers resulting in confusion between us
Maybe there's time for something more than what we've done
There might still be a chance for us to achieve greater things together
Wishing not to hold you down with iron binds
I aspire to not restrict or confine you in any way
Is this day and this time
Presently, in the current moment
Is yours is mine
The possession of what is yours simultaneously belongs to me
I walked along the walls and there I saw your name
As I walked adjacent to corridors, I encountered your name inscribe on the surfaces
I choose to spend my feelings chance, play the game
I decided to take a risk and embrace my emotions, willing to take part in any challenge or obstacle that comes along
The stormy weather passed and left me here to find
The turbulence I faced before has dissipated, and I am here to discover what remains
That the rain and the shine
Both the intense and calm moments
Is yours is mine
The possession of what is yours simultaneously belongs to me
