Walking Away
Southeast Desert Metal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In wondering where you'd be right now
If it's me you're thinking of
I'm watching the sun going down
I would climb the highest mountain for you
I would walk a thousands miles
To find where you'd be waiting for me
She don't see that I love her
She don't see that I care
She keeps walking away
Every night I still see you in my dreams
You're always on my mind
No matter where you go you're always with me
All I wanted was your love
Every time the cold wind blows
I can hear your voice crying out my name
I still see the tears in your eyes
I can feel the pain in my heart
You'll always be the one that I love
I will never let you go
In my arms I'll always hold you close to me
Then our love will be forever

I was sitting alone thinking about you
I sat quietly, reflecting and contemplating thoughts of you
In wondering where you'd be right now
I pondered where you might currently be
If it's me you're thinking of
I question whether you have thoughts of me
I'm watching the sun going down
As the sun sets, I observe the end of another day
I would climb the highest mountain for you
I would make any effort, even the most challenging, to be with you
I would walk a thousands miles
I would travel distances far and wide just to find you
To find where you'd be waiting for me
I would search endlessly for the place where we could meet
No matter how far I've got to go
The distance between us does not matter in my pursuit of you
She don't see that I love her
My affection for her goes unnoticed by her
She don't see that I care
The depth of my concern for her is unrecognized
She keeps walking away
She continually distances herself from me
Every night I still see you in my dreams
My subconscious vividly remembers you each and every night
You're always on my mind
You occupy a constant place in my thoughts
No matter where you go you're always with me
Regardless of your physical location, my mind keeps you close
All I wanted was your love
My desire was simply to be loved by you
Every time the cold wind blows
When exposed to chilling gusts of air
I can hear your voice crying out my name
I clearly audibly hear a lament for me in your voice
I still see the tears in your eyes
The remnants of previous weeping events are visible on your face
I can feel the pain in my heart
The anguish which I feel inside my chest is palpable
You'll always be the one that I love
My feeling of love for you will persist indefinitely
I will never let you go
I will hold onto you forever
In my arms I'll always hold you close to me
I desire to never release you from my embrace
Then our love will be forever
If this is achieved, then our love will endure eternally
