Sash! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to talk to you
But you're a million miles away
Your head is somewhere else
But Heaven's just a step away

Here I am and I'm for real
Turn to me and you will see
I am true to you

And I'm the one who cares now

I believe
That I can free your mind
And you will see
If you are trying to hide
I just believe
That if you free your mind
You'll turn to me
As I'll turn to you
I believe (I believe)

That I can free your mind
And you will see
If you are trying to hide
I just believe (I believe)
That if you free your mind
You'll turn to me
As I'll turn to you
I believe

I believe
You need another reason
You're too ambitious to be right
You see my good intentions
But you always hide behind your pride

Don't turn away and close your eyes
I wanted to see what's on your mind
How can I explain
If you don't want to listen

I believe (I believe)
That I can free your mind
And you will see
If you are trying to hide
I just believe (I believe)
That if you free your mind
You'll turn to me
As I'll turn to you

I believe (I believe)
That I can free your mind
And you will see
If you are trying to hide
I just believe (I believe)
That if you free your mind
You'll turn to me
As I'll turn to you

I believe
I believe

I tried to talk to you
I attempted to communicate with you

But you're a million miles away
You seem unreachable, distant

Your head is somewhere else
You are preoccupied, distracted

But Heaven's just a step away
A solution or relief is close by

Here I am and I'm for real
I am present and genuine

Turn to me and you will see
Look to me and you will realize

I am true to you
I am faithful, honest to you

And I'm the one who cares now
I am the one who cares currently

That if you free your mind
That if you release yourself mentally

You'll turn to me
You will come to me

As I'll turn to you
As I will approach you

You require additional justification

You're too ambitious to be right
You are too determined to be correct

You see my good intentions
You recognize my honorable motives

But you always hide behind your pride
But you consistently conceal yourself due to pride

Don't turn away and close your eyes
Do not look away and ignore it

I wanted to see what's on your mind
I wanted to know what you were thinking

How can I explain
How can I clarify, describe

If you don't want to listen
If you are not willing to hear

I have faith, confidence

That I can free your mind
That I can liberate you mentally
