Be With Me
Mac McAnally Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never trusted it as far as it was throwing me
We've got no reason to believe that we can make it
We know the risk, it's inexcusable to take it
But if you need me, be with me, be with me all the time
If you believe me, be with me, be with me heart and mind
And if it's stormy, be with me until the storm is through
Some people think every move they make is destiny
They simply, want it harder than it has to be
I know it complicates the situation
To wanna know what's past infatuation
But if you need me, be with me, be with me all the time
If you believe me, be with me, be with me heart and mind
And if it's stormy, be with me until the storm is through
If you will only be with me, I will be here for you
Got no precedent, shred of evidence, got no reason to
But girl, if you need me, be with me, be with me all the time
If you believe me, be with me, be with me heart and mind
And if it's stormy, be with me until the storm is through
If you will only be with me, I will be here for you
Girl, if you need me, be with me, be with me all the time
And if you believe, be with me, be with me heart and mind
And if it's stormy, be with me until the storm is through
If you will only be with me, I will be here for you
