Babylon
Martin Eyerer & Oliver Klein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the day we parted
And all the ways
You were broken hearted
Take a trip
Everyday in my mind
I see your face
It's playing back
Like a broken record
I remember
Every tear in your eye
(If I do what I know)
I'd walk back in time
(I will write every wrong)
Oohh
I would change every line
(And you'll be here right now)
Just like yesterday
(But you'd feel no more doubts)
When you hear me say
You're the only one I want
(You're the only one, yeah)
You're the only one
I need in my life
(In my life, baby)
You're the only one I love
(I love, love, love)
You're the only one
I need in my life
I see the world
Through a haze of mem'ries
And other girls
Don't mean
A damn thing to me
It's kinda sad
How they just don't compare
(Time will tell
Let's wait and see)
(If our love
We had was meant to be)
Coz I know
We got a future out there
(Coz you're still my girl)
I don't care what they say
(Let's go back to our world)
Baby don't you throw
This love away
(Coz I still believe)
In the magic of us
(This is the matter of time)
And it's a matter of trial
Now girl it took sometime
To get real with myself
Now love
Ain't easy sometimes
But if you find it
We'll stay together
The lyrics of Martin Eyerer & Oliver Klein's song Babylon talk about a person who wants to go back in time to the moment where he parted ways with his lover, who was heartbroken. Every day, he takes a trip in his mind, and every time he sees her face and remembers every tear in her eyes. If given the chance to change things, the person would write every wrong to have her back in his life, and he knows that she is the only one he wants, needs and loves. Even though he has memories of other girls, they all pale in comparison to her. He believes that they have a future together, and he doesn't care what others say as they both have an unexplainable bond. He believes in their love and that they'll stay together if they find it.
