Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me, through all the worst we're all the better
And you know that there's no one else, it's you forever
Standing by my side, standing by your side
So baby tell me you're mine
And I will always keep your heart by my side
Through thick and thin
As long as you're next to me, as long as you're next to me
Let there be love
Let there be love
I'll never let you go
We're electrified and you light the world
Let there be love
Let there be us
I've never been so high
We're electrified and you make the world brighter
Don't give in
There's no surrender
Hold on tight
We know that this is now or never
And even through the darkest storms we never waver
Standing by my side, standing by your side
So baby tell me you're mine
And I will always keep your heart by my side
Through thick and thin
'Cause I know we'll be alright
As long as you're next to me, as long as you're next to me
Let there be love
Let there be love
I'll never let you go
We're electrified and you light the world
Let there be love
Let there be us
I've never been so high
We're electrified and you make the world brighter
