Here With Me
Newman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Missed by a minute
Now I don't feel the same
And still I regret it
I feel the guilt that way
On the pavement
Heading back
Should've saved it
A memory to remember
Looking back now forever
Forever
It stays with me
Always in my head
And in my sleep
It stays with me
A possibility now out of reach
I felt it before
The feeling knowing I can't forget it now
It stays with me
It stays with me
It stays with me
It stays with me
Oh I've been hoping
That soon my fears will go away
'Cause still they haunt me
And I know they'll return again
On the pavement
Heading back
Should've saved it
A memory to remember
Looking back now forever
Forever
It stays with me
Always in my head
And in my sleep
It stays with me
A possibility now out of reach
I felt it before
The feeling knowing I can't forget it now
It stays with me
It stays with me
It stays with me
It stays with me




It stays with me
It stays with me
