Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love, through the trees, past the sky
Beyond the northern light
You're the same, my delight
Reflecting in your eyes
And I won't let go, if you wait for me
Whenever, wherever
And then you, select the day, selection
Wherever, whenever

We'll go-ooh-ooh-ooh
Wherever, whenever
We'll go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
I wa- I-wa I wanna love forever, love forever, baby.
Wherever, wherever you wanna go (One day)
Do-do whatever, do whatever baby
Wherever, wherever, forever together

I fell asleep, don't know why
You let me come alive
You and me, we collide
Ignite the starry fire
And you warm me up, and you wait for it
Whenever, whenever
And then you, you wake me up, and you wait for it
Whenever, whenever

I wanna go-ooh-ooh-ooh
Wherever, whenever

I know that you knowing, there's no need for guessing
When I am requesting, I'm there with no questions
As, I'll go, wherever, whenever




If ever, you need me, I'll be here
Forever
