And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same, I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So lets go somewhere no one else can see you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time
Time is slipping away
Away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make, make you glad you came
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same, I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So lets go somewhere no one else can see you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time
Time is slipping away
Away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make, make you glad you came
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts, is here and now
My universe, will never be the same, I'm glad you came
"We Came As Romans" is a metalcore band that decided to cover The Wanted's pop track “Glad You Came". The lyrics of the song reflect a young person's night out partying and the moment they meet someone special. The main character recounts how he met his crush and how it has changed his world forever. The lyrics use the imagery of the sun going down and the stars coming out to describe a sense of new possibilities and something exciting on the horizon.
The opening line “The sun goes down, the stars come out” sets the mood and metaphor for the chorus “My universe, will never be the same, I’m glad you came.” This line describes the idea that the arrival of the one they love shifted their universe's axis, signifying their perception of the universe has been changed since the beginning of their relationship.
The second verse emphasizes not only the physical attraction between the characters but also the mental and spiritual connection: “You hit me like the sky fell on me… And I decided you look well on me.” These lines show how the other person has a spell over them, and they can't get over the attraction.
Overall, the song's meaning is about the elation that comes with finding someone special at a party, and how everything else fades away once that person makes a significant impact on your life.

And hate on screaming all you want. Takes more vocal range than a typical singer has. Mad respect for anyone who can scream like that.
@randybardwell8359
It's really harsh on the vocals but it's possible that's why my friends pick me for metal bands
