You And Me Against The World
The Erinyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me against the world

Pieces of you left behind
everywhere we turn, there you are
time is still
We want to let go
We want to erase your every trace
Your eyes start to fade away
a voice
inside of me tells me
you'll never be alone

don't change for anger
don't let hate linger
love always wins the war

Words left unspoken
hopes I thought broken
are growing in me

Dreams I had buried
wishes I carried
take shape inside me

Now that I know
that I can survive
Now that I know
that I'll never be alone
Now that I know
that you'll always be by my side
always be mine

I don't know
if I can hide it anymore
afraid you'll be the one they'll blame
I don't care
it's me and you against the world

I am slowly changing welcoming you
Something is slowly growing inside of me that you can't see

something is Slowly changing in her
See her glowing after all she's been through, watched her break through

Now we are stronger we grew closer
learned forgiveness, love, hope
kindness and trust, to know who you are

I am slowly changing welcoming you





we are changing and evolving
