The Walk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought we'd put it all behind us
Ever since that day
All I wanna do is find us
Now I'm falling down
I'm falling down without you
So I'm calling out
I'm calling out to find you
You gotta hold on to what you got, babe
It ain't always greener on the other side
We ain't rich but we're worth a lot, babe
I wanna see the world with your hand in my hand, you know
Come on I'll love you like that
It ain't always greener on the other side
Come on I'll love you like that
I wanna see the world with your hand in my hand, you know
Even when I make mistakes
You would always bring me higher
We got caught up in our wings
Like the time we had the bonfire
There was no one else, no one else around you
So I'm calling out
I'm calling out to find you
You gotta hold on to what you got, babe
It ain't always greener on the other side
We ain't rich but we're worth a lot, babe
I wanna see the world with your hand in my hand, you know
Come on I'll love you like that
It ain't always greener on the other side
Come on I'll love you like that
I wanna see the world with your hand in my hand, you know
You gotta hold on to what you got, babe
You gotta hold on to what you got, babe
I didn't know just how much I loved you girl
Until you've hurt my heart and destroyed my world
When we're apart I'm a perm without a curl
'Cause ever since we started you've been an ocean to my pearl
You and I together 'till dove all protects us
Making much sense as a love between fascists
But we'll be long time rocking great nine classes
I know we'll be together till this life passes
You gotta hold on to what you got, babe
It ain't always greener on the other side
We ain't rich but we're worth a lot, babe
I wanna see the world again in my mind you know
Come on I'll love you like that
It ain't always greener on the other side
Come on I'll love you like that
I wanna see the world again in my mind you know
You gotta hold on to what you got, babe
It ain't always greener on the other side
We ain't rich but we're worth a lot, babe
I wanna see the world again in my mind you know
Come on I'll love you like that
It ain't always greener on the other side
Come on I'll love you like that
I wanna see the world again in my mind you know
I love you, love you, love you like that
And I watched you walk away
I love you, love you, love you like that
Never wanted it to break
I love you, love you, love you like that
And I watched you walk away
I love you, love you, love you like that
Never wanted it to break

Similar to the occasion when we enjoyed a bonfire
There was no one else, no one else around you
There were no distractions or external influences around you
I didn't know just how much I loved you girl
I underestimated the depth of my love for you
Until you've hurt my heart and destroyed my world
It was only after you caused me pain and upheaval
When we're apart I'm a perm without a curl
When we are separated, I feel incomplete and lacking
'Cause ever since we started you've been an ocean to my pearl
Because since the beginning of our relationship, you have been my everything
You and I together 'till dove all protects us
You and I will be together until the end, no matter the circumstances
Making much sense as a love between fascists
Our love is as nonsensical as a love between opposing ideologies
But we'll be long time rocking great nine classes
Nevertheless, we will endure and thrive through all the challenges
I know we'll be together till this life passes
I am certain that we will remain together until the end of our lives
I love you, love you, love you like that
I deeply, truly love you in that way
And I watched you walk away
And I witnessed you leaving
Never wanted it to break
I never desired for our relationship to fall apart
