BECAUSE OF YOU
Lael Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What would you do if I could see all the knots in your heart
How would you feel if my eyes reached in and pulled them a part
Oh we made mistakes in another life but they brought us here to the starting line

Because of you I don't have to be a lone anymore
Because of you we can build anything that we want

What if we say I love you faster than we think we should
The king and the queen, I love you, we'll cultivate and build this kingdom
As the guns go off and the race is on we beat them all as we travel time

Because of you I don't have to be a lone anymore
Because of you we can build anything that we want

It's us against the world





Because of you I don't have to be a lone anymore
Because of you we can build anything that we want
