My heart
Woody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my heart I give to you
Shine a light through to show it's pure
I wanna just say my aims are true
Just give me a chance
This heart's on offer to you
This is the way for life anew
Tell me that your longing grew
When I was away
I'm only gonna ask to once
I'm only gonna show you twice
I'm only gonna help you thrice
And then I'll leave
Like sitting on a whitewater ride
How will it end
Will we sink from view
Or steer a way through
This is my heart I give to you
Shine a light through to show it's pure
I wanna just say my aims are true
Just give me a chance
I'm only gonna ask to once
I'm only gonna show you twice
I'm only gonna help you thrice
And then I'll leave
Mae-Lin Mae-Lin
This can all be true
Shine a light to show it's pure
All our dreams are due
Hold on hold on to what is real
All the things you can control
All the things you can patrol
Hold on
And come back home
Hold on
And come back home
And come back home
Come back home




Come back home
Just come back home
