Lion I Am Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You leave and I wonder, will you come back someday?
You left behind yourself, you went right through me.
I see, I see now where you want to be
I promised I would be here
Holding on, and never letting go.
This is what I say, this is what I say.
As the light slowly fades. I wont let you fall,
I'm here to hold you higher, don't let me fall
I will endure this with you.
Do you have your heart set
On the day you let this die?
Do you remember the stars?
Do you remember the sound
Of water running, and the perfect timing?
Time and time again you say
Everything is all right. It echoes, endlessly
Light this fire, to see your face
So I can see the reflection in your eyes
I wont let you fall, I'm here
To hold you higher, don't let me fall
I wont let you fall. I'm here to hold
You higher, don't let me fall
I will endure this with you
Light this fire, to see your face, so I can find
meaning in your eyes

My trailing thoughts on this.
I have many thoughts about what happened.
You leave and I wonder, will you come back someday?
You leaving makes me wonder if you will ever return.
You left behind yourself, you went right through me.
When you left, I felt like a part of you was still with me, but you also left me feeling empty inside.
I see, I see now where you want to be
I now understand where you want to go and what you want to do.
I promised I would be here
I made a promise to always be by your side.
Holding on, and never letting go.
I'll hold on to you and never let you go.
This is what I say, this is what I say.
These are my words, my promises.
The fire still burns on, burns on, goes out.
The passion we had for each other is still there, but it's slowly fading away.
As the light slowly fades. I wont let you fall, I'm here to hold you higher, don't let me fall.
Even as our love fades, I'll still be here to support and lift you up, just as I hope you will do for me.
I will endure this with you.
I'll stand by your side through thick and thin.
Do you have your heart set on the day you let this die?
Are you already preparing yourself for when we end things?
Do you remember the stars?
Do you recall the moments when our love felt as bright and infinite as the stars?
Do you remember the sound of water running, and the perfect timing?
Do you reminisce over the small, perfect moments we shared together?
Time and time again you say everything is all right. It echoes, endlessly
Even though we both know things aren't okay, we keep reassuring ourselves that it is, but this lie repeats itself endlessly.
Light this fire, to see your face
Let's reignite our passion so I can see your face, your true self.
So I can see the reflection in your eyes
So I can see the truth and honesty in your eyes.
I won't let you fall, I'm here to hold you higher, don't let me fall.
I'll always be there to hold you up, just don't let me down as well.
I will endure this with you
I'll go through this journey of love with you till the end.
Light this fire, to see your face, so I can find
Let's light a fire, reignite our passion and love, so I can find the person I fell in love with once again.
