Where You Are
Tenille Townes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been high, I've been low, I've been everywhere a soul can go
I've seen the Northern Lights and heaven
too But I ain't ever seen anything like you
If you ever need somebody down the road
You should know

I'd stand in any ticket line
Any mountain I would climb
Just to find my way to where you are
I would swim across the sea
I would cut down any tree
Leave a trail through a forest in the dark
Pave a path to get back to where you are

And if you need a light to shine
I'll buy you any star hanging in the sky
Oh and if this world it breaks your heart
Break mine in two and take the other part
Well you know it already belongs to you
And it's true

I'd stand in any ticket line
Any mountain I would climb
Just to find my way to where you are
I would swim across the sea
I would cut down any tree
Leave a trail through a forest in the dark
Pave a path to get back to where you are

Ooh yeah yeah

Oh to reach I would never stop I'd
keep searching for you 'round the clock
I sing your praises everywhere I go
You should know
You should know

I'd stand in any ticket line
Any mountain I would climb Just to find my way to where you are
Oh I would swim across the sea
I would cut down any tree
Leave a trail through a forest in the dark
Pave a path to get back to where you are
Pave a path to get back to where you are





Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh

The lyrics to Tenille Townes's song Where You Are are about loving someone so much that you would do anything to be where they are.

The singer is willing to do anything to stand by their loved one's side, even if it means sacrificing their heart.


The song is a beautiful declaration of love and devotion, and the melody is equally as passionate. The chorus is particularly powerful, with its repetitive reminder that the singer would do whatever it takes to find their way back to the one they love. Tenille Townes has an incredible voice, and her delivery of these lyrics is incredibly moving.

TENILLE TOWNES (2020) – WHERE YOU ARE (Traducción en español)
I've been high, I've been low
He estado arriba, he estado abajo
I've been everywhere a soul can go
He estado en todos los lugares a donde un alma puede ir
I've seen the Northern Lights and Heaven too
He visto la Aurora Boreal y el Cielo también
But I ain't ever seen anything like you
Pero jamás he visto nada como tú

If you ever need somebody down the road
Si alguna vez necesitas a alguien a lo largo del camino
You should know
Deberías saber que

I'd stand in any ticket line
Estaría en cualquier cola de entrada
Any mountain I would climb
Cualquier montaña la escalaría
Just to find my way to where you are
Simplemente para hallar mi camino a donde estés tú
I would swim across the sea
Cruzaría el mar a nado
I would cut down any tree
Talaría cualquier árbol
Leave a trail through a forest in the dark
Dejaría un rastro a través del bosque en la oscuridad
Pave a path to get back to where you are
Pavimentaría un camino para regresar a donde estés tú

And if you need a light to shine
Y si necesitas una luz para brillar
I'll buy you any star hanging in the sky
Te compraré cualquier estrella que esté pendiendo del cielo
Oh, and if this world it breaks your heart
Oh, y si este mundo te rompe el corazón
Break mine in two and take the other part
Rompe el mío en dos y coge la otra parte
Well, you know it already belongs to you
Bien, sabes que ya te pertenece
And it's true
Y es cierto

I'd stand in any ticket line
Estaría en cualquier cola de entrada
Any mountain I would climb
Cualquier montaña la escalaría
Just to find my way to where you are
Simplemente para hallar mi camino a donde estés tú
I would swim across the sea
Cruzaría el mar a nado
I would cut down any tree
Talaría cualquier árbol
Leave a trail through a forest in the dark
Dejaría un rastro a través del bosque en la oscuridad
Pave a path to get back to where you are
Pavimentaría un camino para regresar a donde estés tú

To reach you I would never stop
Para alcanzarte nunca me detendría
I'd keep searching for you 'round the clock
Seguiría buscándote día y noche
Well, I sing your praises everywhere I go
Bueno, canto tus alabanzas donde quiera que voy
You should know
Deberías saber que
Yeah, you should know
Sí, deberías saber que

I'd stand in any ticket line
Estaría en cualquier cola de entrada
Any mountain I would climb
Cualquier montaña la escalaría
Just to find my way to where you are
Simplemente para hallar mi camino a donde estés tú
I would swim across the sea
Cruzaría el mar a nado
I would cut down any tree
Talaría cualquier árbol
Leave a trail through a forest in the dark
Dejaría un rastro a través del bosque en la oscuridad
Pave a path to get back to where you are
Pavimentaría un camino para regresar a donde estés tú
Pave a path to get back to where you are
Pavimentaría un camino para regresar a donde estés tú
