Avalanche
Handsome and Gretyl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh the miles, the miles look how they go
All the while, the while we've made a home
And I don't know if I could love you anymore than what I'm feeling right now
Then tomorrow tends to show me there is more I can hold for you somehow
Where would I be without you
Where would I be without your love
There's a feeling in my bones that says I'd keep a going
Where would I be without you, you
Oh the time, the time look how it flew
All the heights, the heights we've made it to
And I don't know if I'd a made it any sooner getting there on my own
Love the way you let me know that I will never have to go it alone
What would I do without you
What would I do without your light
There's a hoping in my heart that says I'd brave the dark
What would I do without you
So come on avalanche, come on avalanche...
Where would I be without you
Where would I be without your love
Where would I be without you
Where would I be without your love
There's a feeling in my bones
There's a feeling in my bones




Got a feeling in my bones that I'll not be alone
Never am I without you, you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Handsome and Gretyl's "Avalanche" speak to the power of love and the impact it can have on a person's life. The song tells a story of two people who have built a home together and have overcome obstacles and milestones with each other by their side. The first verse highlights the idea that time has passed and they have traveled many miles together, but the love they have for each other continues to grow stronger. The second verse talks about the heights they have reached together and how the singer doesn't think they would have achieved such success had they been alone. The chorus repeats the question of where the singer would be without their partner's love and highlights the comforting feeling of not being alone.


The symbolism of an avalanche running throughout the song is also interesting. An avalanche is a powerful force that can cause destruction and chaos. However, in the song, it is used as a metaphor for the power of the couple's love. The singer is almost daring the avalanche to come, knowing that they will be able to face it together and overcome whatever challenges come their way.
