Be Where You Are
Handsome Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you have been trough
Because when you talk
Mistery leads you
Yes you've lost
Your line of thought
It's the point you makes that sounds odd
Lose your speed
I've lost count
You're breaking through the wall of sound
Lose your speed
Please slow down
I wanna be who you are
Somehow
I tried to give up
But that wasn't easy
You are too far ahead
Your words never reached me
We have become so close
You decided to run away
Now I'm involved
In the suspicious game you play
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are again
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
Lose your speed
I've lost count
You're breaking through the wall of sound
Lose your speed
Please slow down
I wanna be who you are
Somehow
I am everything
You wish you could be too
We are two different dreams
Performing as one truth
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are again
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are again
The song "Be Where You Are" by Handsome Poets describes a conversation between two people where one person is recalling their experiences but struggling to articulate them clearly. Despite the confusion, the other person is intrigued by the mystery that surrounds the singer and wants to understand them better. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have gone through difficult times and has become isolated, but the other person wants to connect with them and be in their presence.
The lines "You are too far ahead / Your words never reached me" suggest that the singer may have been struggling with mental health issues or personal challenges that made it difficult to communicate with others. The other person wants to bridge that gap and be where the singer is, hence the repetition of the line "I wanna be where you are" in the chorus. The idea of losing speed and slowing down also reinforces the theme of wanting to be present in the moment and not rushing through life.
Overall, "Be Where You Are" is a song about connection, understanding, and empathy. It encourages listeners to slow down and be present in their relationships with others, even when it's difficult to understand their experiences.
