I want everyone to smile with me, to laugh with me, to cry with me, to love with me, even to die with me. I want to change the world, am I am naïve enough to believe that it is possible. Music could write the doctrine of world peace and if everyone stopped all of their nonsense and just sang a song, held hands, and loved, then maybe we could stop fighting over invisible boundary lines and green colored paper. Love is all around, and fighting is just a distraction. I will only be on this planet in this body for a short amount time, and I don’t want to waste a single second of it doing anything other than living, laughing, singing and loving. I live to Love.”

Footsteps
Jake Coco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I'm just dreaming,
but lately it's been seeming like the world is gonna end.
The nights are getting lonely,
feels like I'm the only one around, anyhow.
And you can't write a song,
but I can't paint a picture like you do.
And if you want to know who I am, then hold me close.

I wan't you tonight, the wrong and the right, I want you in my arms tonight.

Maybe you're just dreaming,
but lately it's been seeming like you never really sleep.
I hear your footsteps on the floor,
I hear you sneaking out the door at night, and that ain't right.
He can make you laugh,
but could that boy ever truly make you cry.
And if you want to know who I am, then hold me close.

I wan't you tonight, the wrong and the right, I want you in my arms tonight.

The colors run together, and your star can't shine forever,
cause it burns out when you and I collide.
So let's pick up the pieces. My heart is broke in pieces on the floor.
I'm broken down now don't you know.

I wan't you tonight, the wrong and the right, I want you in my arms tonight.
