Darling
Jesse Davidson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many people in my life
You didn't want to be my wife
I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you to go
I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you

I remember you sweet Caroline
And if I find that you believe in something I could never
I'll find you there I want you
If I could see your face again
I remember you sweet Caroline
And if I found you there I swear I'd go and do it over

I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you to go
I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you

I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you to go
I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you

I remember you sweet Caroline
I wished I'd seen you then
and I was never one for bleeding

How many people in my life
You didn't want to be my wife

I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you to go
I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you

I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you to go
I've gotta be there baby
Yeah I don't want
I don't want you

If you can follow
I loved you I loved you
If you can follow
I loved you I loved you




If you can follow
I loved you I loved you

I don't see you
The shadow's mine
I know
You can go

Does your mind
Have you
Staring to me right now

It is time
You knew
That I've seen you cry

You can run
I know
You can run
I know

Late at night
I know you're trying to change
I know you're trying to change too much right now
Stay inside
I know you're trying to change
I know you'd like to change too much right now

Oh darling we should make you high
Make it right
Oh darling we should try to set it right
Try to set it right

I know you've done too much to change it all
Much to change it all
And I know it's time to for me to run away
Me to run away

Late at night
