We Are One
Sam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another night
I will see it through
I lay on the floor
And I plead with you
Lead me on
I will crawl
Hold my breath
And the stars
Align to spell your name
And you call
Search for me
Follow you down where the angels would hide
You point at the moon and say
(It's not time)
Leading me on where the rivers collide (but I'll see you soon)
As a deer lifts its head up in fear of his shame
You leave through the alley way (I can't speak)
And I fawn (I will see you soon)
You run away
And I break
Then you turn
My shadow into flames
And you call
Search for me
Don't go away
I can't wait
I will cross
Your vacant endless plains
Write your name on my back with your finger
And I believe it started with a V
