Oh My Love
Rea feat. Amy Macdonald Garvey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a thousand miles from the home we've made
I heard your words as the call came through
From that house of cards that I share with you
And I believe we both decide to take a stand or run and hide
And if you disagree then I'm the fool
And I always have to much to say
But it served me well
'Cause I found you
Oh my love am I loud enough
Can you hear me where you are?
And oh my love am I loud enough
Can you hear me where you are?
'Cause I won't let go on the heart I know
I see your smile in an open door as you wait for me
And my return
With my feet here on this foreign soil
You know I'd walk those thousand miles
So you and I we could be
Oh be together now
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, we could be, oh be together now
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, we could be
And when the nights are bitter cold
And the loneliness is at our door
Remember how we fought it off before
With my feet here on this foreign soil
You know I'd walk those thousand miles so you and I we could be
Oh, be together now
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, we could be, oh be together now
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, we could be
Oh, my love am I loud enough
Can you hear me where you are?
And oh my love am I loud enough
Can you hear me where you are?

Line by Line Meaning
I'm lost and found as I lay my head
I am feeling both uncertain and hopeful as I try to rest
I'm a thousand miles from the home we've made
I am far away from the place that we've built together
I heard your words as the call came through
I listened to you speak when we talked on the phone
From that house of cards that I share with you
We live together in a fragile situation that could collapse at any moment
And I believe we both decide to take a stand or run and hide
We need to make a choice between standing up for ourselves or trying to escape the situation
And if you disagree then I'm the fool
If you don't see things my way, I will feel like a fool
And I always have to much to say
I tend to talk a lot and maybe don't listen enough
And lucidly I found my way
I was able to think clearly and find a path forward
But it served me well
My clarity of thought helped me to make good decisions
'Cause I found you
I am grateful for finding you and having you in my life
Oh my love am I loud enough
I want to make sure that you can hear me
Can you hear me where you are?
I hope that my words are reaching you
I won't let go on the heart I know
I am committed to holding onto the love that we share
I see your smile in an open door as you wait for me
I can picture your happiness and anticipation as you wait for my return
And my return with my feet here on this foreign soil
I am eager to come back to you despite being far away from home
You know I'd walk those thousand miles
I am willing to go the extra mile (literally) for you
So you and I we could be
I want us to be together and happy
Oh, be together now
Let's not waste any more time apart; let's be together now
And when the nights are bitter cold
During tough times, like cold, lonely nights
And the loneliness is at our door
When we feel isolated from each other
Remember how we fought it off before
We have overcome these struggles before, and we can do it again
Oh my love, we could be
My love for you is strong, and I believe we can be happy together
