Rescue
Rayvon Owen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was broken down when you found me
Just a heart bled dry in your hand
There was no way out, I was drowning
I had one last breath when you came
In all of the madness you're not afraid
Out of the darkness you find a way
When nothing can set me free
Baby, you rescue me
I lost all my love, there was no fire
Just a heart gone cold underground
I saw your face for the first time
I found one last beat in my chest, oh
In all of the madness you're not afraid
Out of the darkness you find a way
When nothing can set me free
Baby, you rescue me
I was broken down when you found me
Just a heart bled dry in your hand
In all of the madness you're not afraid
Out of the darkness you find a way
When nothing can set me free
Baby, you rescue me
Baby, you rescue me
Baby, you rescue me




When nothing can set me free
Baby, you rescue m

Rayvon...I've probably said this already but you are beyond awesome!
Your voice gives me all the feels if that makes sense.
I think I might be in love with your voice.

@riyah2797

+RayvonOwen I think you're a creative genius and you definitely don't need a song suggestion but have you ever tried the song Gravity by Sara Bareilles? I think your smooth voice and flawless falsetto will be amazing on that song.
