I'll be there
The DRIIVE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People say it fades away
But that just ain't true
Won't ever find perfect but you
You're living proof

People say don't ever change
But I changed for you
I'm not listening, it's their point of view
So much to lose

Oceans won't keep us apart
As long as you're here in my arms

When you dream, when you wake
You know I'll be there
If you need an escape
You know I'll be there
When the sky should take us
I'll meet you there
So when you dream, when you wake
You know I'll be there

People say to be in love
Comes at a price
There's nothing I won't sacrifice
For you

Oceans won't keep us apart
As long as you're here in my arms

When you dream, when you wake
You know I'll be there
If you need an escape
You know I'll be there
When the sky should take us
I'll meet you there
So when you dream, when you wake
You know I'll be there
I'll be there

I'll be there when it feels
Like your day's been a mess
I'll be there when it's too much
Your head needs a rest

Cause you were there when the world pushed me over the edge
Now I need you to know

When you dream, when you wake
You know I'll be there

When you dream, when you wake
You know I'll be there (I'll be there)
If you need an escape (if you need)
You know I'll be there
(When the sky should take us)
When the sky should take us, when it takes us
I'll meet you there
So when you dream, when you wake (when you dream)




You know I'll be there
I'll be there
