Each Other
Katharine McPhee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more lonely nights to hurt me
No more tears left to spare
No more reasons to be unhappy
You threw them all up in the air
And I don't know how you did it but you made me a believer
I never thought that love could turn someone into a dreamer
'Cause everywhere I go I wanna know you're gonna be there
I'd give it all up for you (I'd give it all up for you)
Do anything you ask me to (anything you ask me to)
You're like a pillow I can hold on to
'Cause we got each other
We got each other
My loneliness has gone away
It left me here without a trace
And now I'm in a brand new place
'Cause we got each other
We got each other, yeah
Had some times in past almost pull us under
But we got through all that and it made us stronger
Through the good through the bad that you stayed another
You're the best thing I have and we got each other
When the hard times confront me
You always show me that you care
And I believe you are my rescue
When I see you right there (when I see you right there)
And I don't know how you did it but you made me a believer (believer)
I never thought that love could turn someone into a dreamer (dreamer)
For the first time in my life I don't need a breather
'Cause everywhere I go I wanna know you're gonna be there
I'd give it all up for you
Do anything you ask me to (anything you ask me to)
You're like a pillow I can hold on to
'Cause we got each other
Baby we got each other
My loneliness has gone away (my loneliness has gone away)
It left me here without a trace (it left me here without a trace)
And now I'm in a brand new place
'Cause we got each other
We got each other, yeah
You are the hand that I reach for
When I don't wanna be alone
You are the voice I hear at night
That lets me know I'll be alright (that let's me know that I'll be)
When I need a real good friend
Don't have to look far, you're the best
I'm safe here in your arms
And I know this is where I belong
'Cause I'll give it all up for you
Do anything you ask me to (anything you ask me to)
You're like a pillow I can hold on to
'Cause we got each other
Baby we got each other
My loneliness has gone away (it's gone away, away)
It left me here without a trace (trace)
And now I'm in a brand new place (I'm in a brand new place)
'Cause we got each other
Baby we got each other, yeah
No matter what happens we got each other
Had some times in the past but we got each other
Through the good through the bad we still got each other
We may be happy or sad but we got each other
I'd give it all up for you
Do anything you ask me to
You're like a pillow I can hold on to
'Cause we got each other
We got each other
My loneliness has gone away
It left me here without a trace
And now I'm in a brand new place
'Cause we got each other
Baby we got each other, yeah
Had some times in past almost pull us under
But we got through all that and it made us stronger
Through the good through the bad that you stayed another
You're the best thing I have and we got each other
