by your side
Rivulets & Violets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I read your story through your eyes
Starlit nights / your arms in mine
I′ve seen you in my dreams
You knew the words I thought, before I spoke
You understood my heart, my mind
The world around / just disappeared
If mountains fell all around
Is there shelter by your side
And if my heart should break
Would I know that you were there
We used to walk along hand in hand
We'd talk about the times to come
And talk about / our memories
Between us the stories
To wait for the time when
These memories will fade
To live in this sadness
Won′t you fill this space I'll wait

I danced within my soul the day we met
I felt happy and alive inside when we first met
I read your story through your eyes
I understood who you were just by looking at you
Starlit nights / your arms in mine
Walking under the stars with you and your loving embrace made me happy
I′ve seen you in my dreams
I've imagined spending time with you in my dreams
You knew the words I thought, before I spoke
You understood my thoughts and feelings without me saying anything
You understood my heart, my mind
You deeply knew and cared about who I was as a person
The world around / just disappeared
When we were together, nothing else mattered
The love I still feel
I am still in love with you
If mountains fell all around
Even if the world was falling apart
Is there shelter by your side
Would I feel safe and protected with you?
And if my heart should break
If I was going through a difficult time emotionally
Would I know that you were there
Could I count on you to support me and be there for me?
We used to walk along hand in hand
We would take romantic walks together while holding hands
We'd talk about the times to come
We envisioned our future and what it could hold for us
And talk about / our memories
We cherished the memories we had made together
Between us the stories
We had a strong bond and shared many experiences
To wait for the time when
I hope for the day when
These memories will fade
When the memories we shared will no longer be as strong
To live in this sadness
It's hard to cope with this feeling of sadness
Won′t you fill this space I'll wait
Can you come back into my life and fill the void you left? I'll be waiting
