Wherever You Are
Yanou Featuring Do Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep my distance but that distance is too far
It reassures me just to know that you're okay
But I don't want you to go on needing me this way
And I don't want to know if you are lonely
Don't want to know if you are less than lonely
Don't want to know if you are lonely
The day you left me, left me feeling oh so bad
Still I'm not sure about all the doubts we had
From the beginning we both knew it wouldn't last
Decisions have been made the die has been cast
The phone is ringing and the clock says four A.M.
If it's your friends, well I don't want to hear from them
Please leave your number and a message at the tone
Or you can just go on and leave me alone

My friend took his life last Saturday. The funeral was yesterday. As you can imagine, there was a lot of crying. I feel guilty, like I was a bad friend who didn’t stop him. Now he’s in heaven. 😢😢
Jon you're all that I want
When you're lying here in our arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
You’re in heaven
Rest easy buddy. Until we meet again. ❤

There are a lot of versions of this song out there but this stripped down one is absolutely gorgeous. Her voice, the piano & strings, the lyrics, just beautiful... I've loved this for years.

That's why I have a very high standard when it comes to music. I've never been a fan of some of the new songs that doesn't have a nice melody, and doesn't even have a nice title.
