You Belong Here
Leagues Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up
All the windows
Donâ t be afraid to let the sunlight in
Give it up
Donâ t disobey it
Let it grow and
Let it all begin
Youâ d be a fool to fight it

You belong here
Weâ ve been waiting so long
Weâ ve been waiting so long
You belong here
Weâ ve been waiting so long
Weâ ve been waiting so long

You try to run
But it will find you
its right behind you
Weâ ve been chased by love
Lift up your eyes
Turn down the noise
Be where you are and
Let it all begin
Youâ d be a fool to fight it

You belong here
Weâ ve been waiting so long
Weâ ve been waiting so long
You belong here
Weâ ve been waiting so long
Weâ ve been waiting so long

If you ever wanted to know that your wanted
If you ever wanted to know that
If your ever wanted well know that your wanted
Its something that I need to you know

Yeah If you ever wanted to know that your wanted
If you ever wanted to know that
If your ever wanted well know that your wanted
Its something that I need to you know

You belong here
Weâ ve been waiting so long
Weâ ve been waiting so long
You belong here
Weâ ve been waiting so long
Weâ ve been waiting so long

You belong here
Iâ ve been waiting so long
Iâ ve been waiting so long
You belong here




Weâ ve been waiting so long
Weâ ve been waiting so long

There's something intriguing about this delicacy I call real music. Only 48,211 views? Splendid. I like the knowledge of this gift remaining only amongst those who truly treasure it. And when I plug my earphones in, I feel like I'm able to escape from this reality into another world where my inner thoughts become movies displayed before my eyes, and my subconscious comes out in answers and conclusions rather than questions and accusations. It's complete bliss, but ironically unjust. It's not fair. Why can't the wind and grass and trees and flowers provide us with such melancholy? I guess I'll continue to search and share until the world sees the love poured out into this music.
Good day my loves.
