Long for You
Mar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was your son
Even when I never felt loved
And every time I thought that I was wrong

I'm not alone
Even though I feel so lost
I need you to let me be yours again
For too long
I have thought that I could live without you
And far from your eyes
For so long
I have lived my life adrift in the dark
And I don't know why

I've been alone too long

Warm me up
Cause everything around is so cold
I need you to let me be yours again

For so long
I have begged you to heal all my wounds
And my scars
So long
I've been looking for your peace within me
To rest in your arms

I've been alone in the dark

For so long
I have tried to understand who I am
And now that I know
Oh Lord
I feel your peace within my soul and my mind
I'll rest in your arms

I'll rest in your arms

Oh Lord
I'll rest in your arms





I'll rest in your arms

I was your son
Despite feeling unloved, I have never strayed from the fact that I am your child


Even when I never felt loved
Despite my feeling of being unimportant, I never lost my connection with you


And every time I thought that I was wrong
Every moment of self-doubt, I knew you still stood by me


I'm not alone
While alone, I still have faith that you are with me

Despite feeling lost and helpless, you keep me going


I need you to let me be yours again
I yearn to regain the sense of comfort being in your arms gave me


For too long
My estrangement from you has gone far too long


I have thought that I could live without you
I had believed I could live without you, but now I see that wasn't the case


And far from your eyes
Away from your comforting gaze


For so long
It has been a long time since I last saw you


I have lived my life adrift in the dark
I've wandered aimlessly without your guidance


And I don't know why
I have no explanation for this long absence


I've been alone too long
The loneliness has taken its toll on me


Warm me up
Comfort me with warmth and love


Cause everything around is so cold
Everything seems empty and devoid of love


For so long
It's been ages


I have begged you to heal all my wounds
I have cried out for your help to ease my suffering


And my scars
Physical and emotional scars from the past


So long
It has been a while


I've been looking for your peace within me
I've been searching frantically for the serenity you bring


To rest in your arms
To finally feel your embrace


I've been alone in the dark
I have suffered miserably without your presence


For so long
It's been far too long


I have tried to understand who I am
I tried to find my purpose and meaning in life


And now that I know
But now I realize


Oh Lord
My Lord and savior


I feel your peace within my soul and my mind
I finally feel at peace with my whole being


I'll rest in your arms
With you, I find true rest and comfort


Oh Lord
I call out to you


I'll rest in your arms
I have found my solace in you

Much love. Visually enriching. Aurally outstanding.
Is an acoustic variation a possibility (similar to the London Minutes)?
P.S. Washington, D.C. Would welcome you warmly, should there be a US tour...
