Jordan
Rival Sons (USA) Lyrics

The wolves look to the moon
The wolves yearn and gaze at the moon as their guide.

And the ocean to the sky
The ocean admires and seeks direction from the vast expanse of the sky.

I've looks to my whole life
The singer has spent their entire life searching for something.

Now I have to say goodbye
The singer must now bid farewell to whatever they have been searching for.

But to say that I've lost you
The singer recognizes that saying they've lost something is selfish.

It's a selfish thing to say
Naming a loss belongs to no one.

I've never seen nothing as beautiful
The singer has never seen anything as beautiful as this moment of letting go.

As watching you slip away
Letting go and watching someone leave is difficult but can be perceived as a beautiful experience.

I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
The singer would rather their loved one leave this world and rest in peace with supernatural guides.

Than to keep you right here with me
The singer would rather let their loved one go than hold on and make them suffer.

I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
The singer believes they will be reunited with their loved one in the afterlife.

Now let your soul go free
The singer's final words to their loved one is to let their soul rest peacefully.

You did it all with feeling
The singer admires their loved one's passion in everything they've done in life.

And failure, you took it gracefully
The singer admires how their loved one gracefully handled failure.

You said third star to the right
A reference to Peter Pan, the loved one gives direction for the singer.

And straight on until morning
The loved one's direction for the singer is to keep moving forward.

When you need me, you know
The singer promises their loved one that they will be there when needed.

That's where I'll be
The singer will always be there when their loved one reaches out.

Now the rest of my life without you
The singer must face a future without their loved one.

Right now it's hard to conceive
The singer is struggling to imagine a future without their loved one.

You said, don't cry form me now
The loved one told the singer not to mourn them.

You've got to remember
The loved one asks the singer to never forget them.

There is no death for those that believe
The singer believes that death is not the end and that their loved one lives on through faith.
