I Am Yours
Sin City Escape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we go back again?
To the start of where it all began
Before my demons took my hand and then broke me
Beneath the shadows of my skin and who i really i am
what is your measure of a man, I'm not it

I am yours, can we start again?
Can we start again?
I am yours, can we start again?
Can we start again?

I stood outside your light
But you would never leave my side
I won't let you down this time
Just know that

You're the one I always bend
Around the monster I have been
Yet you still pull me form the edge, of darkness

I am yours, can we start again?
Can we start again?
I am yours, can we start again?
Can we start again?

Can we start again?
Can we start again?
Can we start again?
Can we start again?

Can we? Can we? Can we start again?
Can we start again?
Can we start again?

I am yours, can we start again?
Can we start again?
I am yours, can we start again?
Can we start again?

Can we get back again?
To the start of where it all began?
Can we get back again?




To the start of where it all began?
Can we start again?

Line by Line Meaning

Can we go back again?
Can we return to the time in the past when we started our relationship?


To the start of where it all began
To the beginning of our relationship


Before my demons took my hand and then broke me
Before my personal problems took control of my life and ruined me


Beneath the shadows of my skin and who I really am
Underneath the surface of my physical appearance and my true character


What is your measure of a man, I'm not it
What do you consider to be the qualities of a good man, because I don't think I possess them


I am yours, can we start again?
I belong to you, and I want to begin again


I stood outside your light
I was not in the circle of your brightness or positivity


But you would never leave my side
However, you never ceased to support me


I won't let you down this time
I vow not to disappoint you this time


You're the one I always bend
You are the one I always compromise for


Around the monster I have been
Amidst the creature that I have become (as a result of my problems)


Yet you still pull me from the edge of darkness
Nevertheless, you uncover me from the dangers and struggles of life


Can we get back again?
Can we return?


Can we start again?
Can we start afresh?

"And when his eyes go dead,the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him"

That has got to be one of the most badass lines ever. And the fact that its followed by "I love you,Goldie" is hilarious.

MrJJtheboss

best line ever made in history. 

sometimes i even want to use that shit against my foes.

Cast Bet

Full disclosure half the lines they say in this movie I have saved for “times I wanna be badass”.

Sedition Case

Everything Marv says is pure badass

Graham Duggan

I watched this film for the first time in years last night. Still holds up. Especially Marv's story. Definitely my favourite in the film.

Norm Appleton

The beauty is that Marv isn't a superhero, but he is.

no hassle

Excellent character portrayed amazingly by a terrific actor.

Mr. L

Marv will always be my number one favorite Sin City Character

liqer

Underrated Masterpiece , should got that Oscar for best writing and also Mickey Rourke for Best Supporting Actor , Rourke was fucking awesome in this!

Brian Merritt

The writing was taken word for word from the comic books. Literally no writing was done for this movie.
