Rescue Me
Lovelast Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's turn back our hearts
And get lost in conversation
Is it all that we can be?

Moments from the start
Far from all this consternation
We were all that we could see

But if time is all we're hoping for
And if time is all we need
Will you one day show up at my door
Will you come and rescue me?

Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me
Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me

Continents apart
Infinite, it seems, the distance
Still too close for me to breathe

Compliments to heart
Words do fall with such arrangement
As to hide our misery

But if time is all we're hoping for
And if time is all we need
There will never be a moment more
When your touch can rescue me

Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me
Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me
Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me
Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me

Night may fall like rain
But light will crawl upon your face
And you'll remember me say
You'll remember me say
Night may fall like rain
But light will crawl upon your face
And you'll remember me say
You'll remember me say
Night may fall like rain
But light will crawl upon your face
And you'll remember me say

Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me
Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me
Rescue me, love
Come and rescue me
Rescue me, boy
Come and rescue me

Night may fall like rain
But light will crawl upon your face

And you'll remember me say
It's too late

Let's turn back our hearts
Let's rekindle the feelings and emotions we had before

And get lost in conversation
And engage in deep, meaningful discussions

Is it all that we can be?
Is this our full potential or is there more to us?

Moments from the start
From the very beginning of our relationship

Far from all this consternation
Far from the worries and anxieties that surround us

We were all that we could see
We were completely focused on each other

But if time is all we're hoping for
But if all we want is more time together

And if time is all we need
And if time is the only thing that can satisfy us

Will you one day show up at my door
Will you unexpectedly come back into my life

Will you come and rescue me?
Will you be the one to save me from my current situation

Continents apart
Separated by great distances
