Line by Line Meaning
And You move and I give in, alright
When You act or guide, I have no choice but to submit obediently and agreeably
What could I do? What could I do?
I am helpless and unable to change things or make decisions on my own
What could I do without You?
Without You, my life would be devoid of purpose and direction
What could I do without You?
Without You, I would be lost, aimlessly wandering through life
