Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(1st VERSE)
There was a time I thought I could never find
The one I have yearn to know
Somewhere inside I used to hurt and I cried
Now you're here to rescue me
Now I know I must try to leave that behind
So take me away
You know I will stay just for you
(CHORUS)
If you were mine
I'll be the one to love you
No matter what you do
'Cause you are all I ever need
If you were mine
Whenever you should want me
I'll be there for you
I'll be by your side, I will
(2nd VERSE)
Show me the way to be the one you can trust
To hold and to care
Give me the word and I will comfort your mind
Just believe and I'll follow through
When I look in your eyes
Words can't explain the way you make me feel
No other has done what you done to me
Can't you see...
(REPEAT CHORUS 2x)
---BREAK---
(BRIDGE)
Now I know I must try to leave that behind
And understand you're real
So take me away
You know I will stay just for you
(REPEAT CHORUS 2x)
