Where You Are
Mansions On The Moon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I only knew you for a moment but yet I can't forget your face
I only knew you for a summer but yet I think of you each day
I wonder where you are now and if you ever think of me
I wonder where I am now and where I outta be

I only want to be where you are x12

I only knew you for a moment but yet I can't forget your face

I only knew you for a summer but yet I think of you each day
I wonder where you are now and if you ever think of me
I wonder where I am now and where I outta be

I only want to be where you are x12

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mansions On The Moon's song "Where You Are" speaks to the feelings of longing, nostalgia, and regret that can arise after a summer fling or a brief encounter with someone who has left a lasting impression. The singer reminisces about the short time they spent with the person in question and admits that they can't forget their face, even though they only knew them for a moment. The memory of this person seems to haunt them as they wonder where that person is now and if they too ever think of them.

The repeated line "I only want to be where you are" emphasizes the singer's desire to be with this person again, regardless of where they may be. The song's focus on feeling rather than narrative adds to the sense of nostalgia and yearning. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not in the place they want to be, both physically and emotionally. They are searching for something or someone that they may never find, but the memory of this person has become a part of who they are.

Overall, "Where You Are" by Mansions On The Moon is a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of human connections, and the lingering effects that they can have on our lives.
