Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I believe in what you say / Come on and talk to me
Cos of-you can// you show me the light this time

I should have know it right from the start// another breakdown
I wanna feel it right from your heart / right from your soul
It’s all I’ve been searching for

All I’ve believed in was you / it’s all I’ve been living for // what is the answer?

What is the answer? What have we been searchin’ for?
When everything’s gone that we’re livin’ for //
You’re not the only one feeling broken//what is the answer?

Hope there are stars in your blue sky / mine are all gone now
Don’t fell like flyin’ into your dream//but can I get in?

The looks you gave me made me feel free / another breakdown
Lookin’ right / it’s like you’re looking’ right // right through my soul / right through me // You’re all I’ve been waiting for this time

Step into my world//It’s all that I want you to show // what is the answer?

What is the answer? What have we been searchin’ for?
When everything’s gone that we’re livin for /You’re not the only one feeling broken //Wherever I go – Whatever I do //I wish sometimes we’ll make it through // And when I will fall/have faith in me/believe in me

And all of this talking now /it’s driving me crazy //I’ve only got love and it flows like a river /Yes it flows like a river

And all of this waitin’ all of this talkin’ //It’s drivin’ me crazy

I’m trying to hold on to all I’ve been dreamin’ //I wanna believe in you
What is the answer?
