I'll be there
L.A.P.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am again
I'm dreaming of you hair
Flowing through the wind
I'm trying to forget
That your not there
But don't fear
I'll be there for you
Oh I'll be there for you (Oh I'll be there for you)
Here I am again (Here I am again)
I'm dreaming of you hair (of you hair)
Flowing through the wind
I'm trying to forget (I'm trying to forget )
That your not there (your not there)
But don't fear (don't fear)
I'll be there for you (I'll be there for you)
Oh I'll be there for you (Oh I'll be there for you)
When you walk away
I loose a part of myself
And when you return where will we be
You will be in my arms
Watching the sunset
For for now that's just make believe
We could be running through grass
Endless laughs
Living real fast
With devilish pasts
But I got to learn
To keep my control
Be happy for things
That I call my own
I let you close, I don't do that often
Will you give me life or put me in a coffin
(Don't fear woah)
(Don't fear no no no)
(I'll be there there)
Here I am again
I'm dreaming of you hair
Flowing through the wind
I'm trying to forget
That your not there
But don't fear
I'll be there for you
Oh I'll be there for you (Oh I'll be there for you)
Here I am again (Here I am again)
I'm dreaming of you hair (of you hair)
Flowing through the wind
I'm trying to forget (I'm trying to forget )
That your not there (your not there)
But don't fear (don't fear)




I'll be there for you (I'll be there for you)
Oh I'll be there for you (Oh I'll be there for you)
