Away
Hans-Günter Heumann Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh oh I need you here
I can't sleep when you're not near
It's not the dark, but lack of light
You let off within my life
Oh oh oh I need you here
Should've held you close my dear
I can't help but mourn despite
You beginning a new
I guess I'm afraid
To say that I wanted to depend on you
Your happiness made
Every day that I lived even better I knew
I didn't want change
But that's all I've been living I know it's not all for me
I've been moving around and been changing up constantly
So I grew colder
Long nights turned to cold shoulders
I needed loving, oh
I need, I needed loving
Ooh
I think about you constantly
Ooh
I wish that you were here with me
Oh oh oh I need you here
I can't sleep when you're not near
It's not the dark, but lack of light
You let off within my life
Oh oh oh I need you here
Should've held you close my dear
I can't help but mourn despite
You beginning a new
And now the blue feels like a rainy day
Cause my sunshine's a plane away
And when I need the light it's on my screen
But I don't feel the warmth it's not on me
So I feel colder
It'd help if I could hold her
I need her loving, oh
I need, I need her loving
Ooh
I think about you constantly
Ooh
I wish that you were here with me
Oh oh oh I need you here
I can't sleep when you're not near
It's not the dark, but lack of light
You let off within my life
Oh oh oh I need you here
Should've held you close my dear




I can't help but mourn despite
You beginning a new
