We Are Leo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And lift my eyes
And you remind me
Things will be alright
I look in your eyes
And you look back at mine
And whisper to me
We can leave it all behind
You light the dark with your words
When you sing that you love me
And I can feel you in my heart
See you in the sky above me
And with beautiful strokes
That will shine when
All the stars have burned out
You wrote my name on your hands
It's time to dream
Under opened skies
And you take my hand
And we can fly
And we can fly
You light the dark with your words
When you sing that you love me
And I can feel you in my heart
See you in the sky above me
And with beautiful strokes
That will shine when
All the stars have burned out
You wrote my name on your hands
And you were exactly what I needed
And you were exactly what I needed
And you were exactly what I needed
Exactly what I needed
You light the dark with your words
When you sing that you love me
And I can feel you in my heart
See you in the sky above me
And with beautiful strokes
That will shine when
All the stars have burned out
You wrote my name on your hands
You light the dark with your words
When you sing that you love me
And I can feel you in my heart
See you in the sky above me
And with beautiful strokes
That will shine when
All the stars have burned out
You wrote my name on your hands
My name is on your hands

Call me down
Ask me to calm down
And lift my eyes
Encourage me to look up and stay positive
And you remind me
Help me remember
Things will be alright
Everything will be okay
I look in your eyes
I make eye contact with you
And you look back at mine
You also look into my eyes
And whisper to me
Speak softly to me
We can leave it all behind
We can forget about our problems and move on
You light the dark with your words
Your words bring hope and light to difficult situations
When you sing that you love me
Expressing your love for me through singing
And I can feel you in my heart
I sense your love in my emotions
See you in the sky above me
I feel like I see you in the clouds or stars
And with beautiful strokes
With elegant and graceful actions
That will shine when
Those actions will be noticeable when
All the stars have burned out
Even after all hope seems lost
You wrote my name on your hands
You show how much you care about me by writing my name on your skin
It's time to dream
It's time to let our minds wander and imagine
Under opened skies
Beneath an unobstructed view of the heavens
And you take my hand
You lead me through it
And we can fly
We can break free from our troubles and soar
And you were exactly what I needed
You were the perfect solution to my problems
Exactly what I needed
Exactly what I required to feel better
My name is on your hands
You care deeply about me and want to show it physically
