Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a better place since you came along
Since you came along
Your touch is sunlight through the trees
Your kisses are the ocean breeze
Everything's alright when you're with me
And ahh, you're my favorite thing
Well, it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
I see the whole world in your eyes
It's like I've known you all my life
We just feel so right
So I pour my heart into your hands
It's like you really understand
You love the way I am
And ahh, you're my favorite thing
Ahh, all the happiness you bring
Well, it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
And the sun paints the skies and the wind sings our song
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
Now I'm alright
Now I'm alright
Everything's alright
'Cause it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along

@leexiungting5770
I don't know why Rachel's songs don't get that much attention. Her songs focus mostly on hope, resiliency and perseverance.
@creedorian
people dont understand the hidden beauti of the songs with meaning.they only search for the melody not the meaning.
@aether3697
@@creedorian her songs do have good melody though
@mikay5155

@J_Terrible
That's EXACTLY why they don't... industry is evil n wants you feeling lost scared and desperate...
@suhaidasidek2293
When people happy they find the melody.when people sad they find the meaning and the the lyrics of the song.
@Jayson7131
this song is so beautiful but makes me hate my life for not having anyone to share it with together 😢
@josephsprague8130
Everyone has someone... Don't forget a lover/Significant other isn't the only form of connections necessary to actually live.
With that being said, if you actually have NO ONE, then go out and find someone else who has no one and you two can be each others someone. It doesn't mean you have to find a significant other. Just someone looking for a connection. You may be surprised who needs you just as much as you desire them.
