Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
come with me
take your time
but don't you see
oh that your ways
won't set you free
oh take my hand now
and come with me
inside the door
of my heart
you will see for sure
that my love for you is pure
oh take my hand now
and come with me
I won't judge
won't put you down
why you lay?
Down on the ground
take your time
I will hang around
oh take my hand now
and come woth me
I don't know
how I would say
if your trails I was to pair
oh but your burden Do let me share
oh take my hand now
and come with me
nan na na nan na nana na na na
Take this hate Out of your heart
it is alright that we drown apart
let's give this thing a brand new start
oh take my hand now
and come with me
Turn your anger and blowing rage
against your self oh break out the cage
oh write your story on brand new page
oh take my hand now
and come with me
I won't shout I will stay copused
this is where you'll need me more
Oh it is not too late the door has not closed
oh take my hand now
and come with me
If I stampeled as I walk with you
I will take your hand
Ih I will come with you
I need your strength to pull me through
oh take my hand now
and come with me
take my hand
