Johan Gielen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you tell me where to go
We are lost so far from home
From home

I gave all there was to find
For a sign that you are mine
Are mine

If you and me are meant to live forever
I wanna hear you say my name
Show me that we stand together
Oh, I want you to say my name
(Say my name, say my name)
I wanna hear you say my name
(Say my name, say my name)
I wanna hear you say my name
Oh-ohoh-oh
I wanna hear you say my name
Oh-ohoh-oh-oh

If you and me are meant to live forever
I wanna hear you say my name
Show me that we stand together
I wanna hear you say my name

If you and me are meant to live forever
I wanna hear you say my name
Show me that we stand together
I wanna hear you say my name
(From home)
(Are mine)

If you and me are meant to live forever
I wanna hear you say my name
Show me that we stand together
Oh, I want you to say my name
(Say my name, say my name)
I wanna hear you say my name

(Say my name, say my name)
I wanna hear you say my name
