Inside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stretch my arms out to a photograph that never reaches back to touch my arms.
Forever and a day is all i have to offer you.
Forever and a day i'll wait right here for your return.
And i'll be staring at this silent phone and know this is tearing me apart - when are you coming home?
This is why i raise my hand to greet the sun each day.
Place my hand upon my heart to hear it beat your name. over and over.
Forever and a day forever and a day is all i have to offer you.
You hold my heart now hold my hand hold me anyway you can my life is in your hands
Because i ran for miles and miles and miles i'd run for days to see you smile, just to see you smile.
Be sure to close my eyes before you leave tonight.
You hold my heart now hold my hand hold me anyway you can
My life is in your hands
Forever and a day. forever and a day.
The song "Sandra" by Inside is a heart-wrenching ballad about unrequited love and the overwhelming longing for someone who is out of reach. The song opens with the singer stating that they are writing a letter because they don't know what else to do. They then stretch their arms out to a photograph of the person they love, but the photograph cannot touch them back. The singer offers their heart and all the time in the world to the person they adore, but they are left waiting and wondering when they will come back. The silence of the phone and the uncertainty of the situation tear them apart.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of forever and a day being all the singer has to offer. They hold onto the hope that their love will return to them and they can again hold hands and be close. The second verse mentions the singer running for miles and miles just to see the person they love smile. The final lines of the song ask the person to hold the singer in any way they can because their life is in their hands. The song ends with a final repetition of forever and a day.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of yearning and desire for someone who may never return those feelings. It portrays the pain and hopelessness of waiting for someone who may never come back and has left the singer's heart in their hands.
