Would You Wander
Lisa Loeb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You would follow it forever
Would you wander for me?
Even though you think I'm lost
And you know better
Would you wander for me?
[Chorus]
Footprints right behind me
How far would you go outside
The lines just to find me
Letting go of anything that grounds us
Would you wander for me?
Even though there's darkness all around us
Would you wander for me?
'cause I'd wander for you
[Chorus]
When you see that I am gone
To the edge and way beyond
Would you, would you, would you wander for me?
Doesn't matter where we are
We can be our northern star
Far above the earth and weather
Together
[Chorus]
When you see that I am gone
To the edge and way beyond
Would you, would you, would you wander for me?
Would you wander for me?
If it's really love you'd follow it forever
Would you wander for me?
