by your side
Irene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could never make it alone
I always want to be by your side
I've been lost but I believe in you
won't you see me through, oh-oh
The winter's gonna tear up a hole
for all we have to carry inside
I've been down but you can take me higher
won't you light my fire, oh-oh

But the road is long (the road is long)
under the golden sun (golden sun)
We need to find a way (find a way)
Under the cold blue stars (cold blue stars)
we need to find a way (find a way)
And in the city night (city night)
we need to find a way

I could never make it alone
I always want to be by your side
I've been lost but I believe in you
won't you see me through, oh-oh
The winter's gonna tear up a hole
for all we have to carry inside
I've been down but you can take me higher
won't you light my fire, oh-oh

But the road is long (the road is long)
under the golden sun (golden sun)
We need to find a way (find a way)
Under the cold blue stars (cold blue stars)
we need to find a way (find a way)
And in the city night (city night)
we need to find a way

I could never make it alone
I always want to be by your side
I've been lost but I believe in you
won't you see me through, oh-oh
The winter's gonna tear up a hole
for all we have to carry inside
I've been down but you can take me higher
won't you light my fire, oh-oh

I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you 'cause you light up my life
I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you 'cause you light up my life
I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you 'cause you light up my life
I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you 'cause you light up my life
