I Will Walk With You
Sheryl Crow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cover your heart
Put on mask
Dance with my slowly
Is all that I ask
What is the hardest?
Falling in love
Knowing just where to begin or start
I will walk
I will walk with you
I will walk with you

Lay down beside me
Tell me your dreams
The view from inside
Is not what it seems
But no one will hurt you
Not like before
Your last thread of forgiveness
Won't reach the door no..

I will walk
I will walk with you
I will walk with you
I will walk
I will walk with you...yeah..

Pull up the curtains
Watch the night fall
Who has the answers
When no body calls?
Now the life fury
Blame the sunrise next
Because I was in love with you
But I can't change the past

I will walk




I will walk with you
I will walk with you..

In "I Will Walk With You" by Sheryl Crow, the singer addresses someone who has gone through heartbreak and betrayal, and offers her support. The opening lines suggest that the person may be guarded and protecting themselves, possibly from further pain in a new relationship. The singer acknowledges the difficulty of falling in love and starting anew, but promises to be there step by step. She doesn't demand the person open up to her immediately, just to be present and move slowly.


As the song continues, the singer emphasizes that she will be there through anything, and that she wants the person to share their dreams and trust her. The line "The view from inside is not what it seems" implies that the person may be feeling lost and disoriented, and that the singer will help them gain perspective. Though someone may have hurt the person in the past and caused them to feel they are "out of forgiveness", the singer promises to remain with them, even when nobody else will.


The final lines are an acknowledgment of the unknown and the uncontrollable, the "life fury" that rages on regardless of personal struggles. The singer again promises to be there through anything, including regret and past mistakes. The repetition of "I will walk with you" emphasizes the singer's commitment to support the person for the long haul, no matter what comes their way.
