Lost Without You
Kylie Minogue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I be honest with you?
Can I tell you the truth?

I never did mind the storm
Even when my heart was torn
Thunder in the night sky
I'm running from a town like this
Crashing with a stolen kiss
We're all glitter and tears in the moonlight
And it came to me in a taxi ride
Hit me like a blinding light
And my heart was beating so alive
Wanna find myself all in the wild
Oh I, oh I

I wanna get lost without you
(In the dark, in the night)
I wanna get lost without you
(Get it wrong, make it right)
Ooh, ooh
Tell me is that cool?
I wanna get lost without you (hey, hey)

I'm gonna be free and fun
Gonna let my makeup run
Uh, see every sunrise
Facing up to all my fears
Gonna find a way out of here
We're all glitter and tears in the moonlight

I wanna get lost without you
(In the dark, in the night)
I wanna get lost without you
(Get it wrong, make it right)
Ooh, ooh
Tell me is that cool?
I wanna get lost without you
I wanna get lost without you
(I wanna get lost without you)

Before the sky was broken
I should get in and out trouble on my own
Just don't leave me totally alone
Baby the world can see me dance
The universe was ours and then it disappeared
But the skies are still blue
With or without you
And now I'm standing out here in the crowd
And I'm dancing

I wanna get lost without you
(In the dark, in the night)
I wanna get lost without you
(Get it wrong, make it right)
Ooh, ooh
Tell me is that cool?




I wanna get lost without you
I wanna get lost without you

I never did mind the storm
I was never afraid of the turmoil


Even when my heart was torn
Even though my heart was broken


Thunder in the night sky
Lightning in the dark sky


I'm running from a town like this
I'm escaping from a place like this


Crashing with a stolen kiss
Colliding with a kiss that wasn't mine to take


We're all glitter and tears in the moonlight
We are all shining and emotional in the moonlight


And it came to me in a taxi ride
I had a realization during a taxi ride


Hit me like a blinding light
It impacted me powerfully


And my heart was beating so alive
My heart was racing with excitement


Wanna find myself all in the wild
I desire to fully immerse myself in nature


Oh I, oh I
Oh me, oh me

Even though the world is watching, I will dance


The universe was ours and then it disappeared
We once had everything, but then we lost it


But the skies are still blue
Despite everything, the sky is still a beautiful blue


With or without you
Either I will manage on my own or I will need your help


And now I'm standing out here in the crowd
I am now standing out in the crowd


And I'm dancing
And I'm celebrating

[Intro]
Can I be honest with you?
Can I tell you the truth?

[Verse 1]
I never did mind the storm
Even when my heart was torn
Thunder in the night sky
I'm running from a town like this
Crashing with a stolen kiss
We're all glitter and tears in the moonlight
And it came to me in a taxi ride
Hit me like a blinding light
And my heart was beating so alive
Wanna find myself all in the wild
Oh I, oh I

[Chorus]
I wanna get lost without you
(In the dark, in the night)
I wanna get lost without you
(Get it wrong, make it right)
Ooh, ooh
Tell me is that cool?
I wanna get lost without you

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna be afraid I fall
Gonna let my makeup run
See every sunrise
Facing up to all my fears
Gonna find a way out of here
We're all glitter and tears in the moonlight

[Chorus]
I wanna get lost without you
(In the dark, in the night)
I wanna get lost without you
(Get it wrong, make it right)
Ooh, ooh
Tell me is that cool?
I wanna get lost without you
I wanna get lost without you

[Bridge]
Before the sky was broken
I should [?] trouble on my own
Just don't leave me totally alone
Baby the world can see me dance
The universe was ours and then it disappeared
But the skies are still blue
With or without you
And now I'm standing out here in the crowd
And I'm dancing

[Chorus]
I wanna get lost without you
(In the dark, in the night)
I wanna get lost without you
(Get it wrong, make it right)
Ooh, ooh
Tell me is that cool?
I wanna get lost without you
I wanna get lost without you



Tomáš Chaloupka

Before the sky was broken
I should [?] trouble on my own
Just don't leave me totally alone
Baby the world can see me dance
The universe was ours and then it disappeared
But the skies are still blue
With or without you
And now I'm standing out here in the crowd
And I'm dancing

I'm so obsessed with what she speaks in the bridge of the song. It's just inspiring. It gave me chills. I screamed when I heard this song for the first time!

Justin Patrick that perfect is amazing and the way the heartbeats kick in before the finale!

This deserved to be on the standard edition, one of the best Kylie songs recorded in years. This NEEDS to be a single and on the tour.
