Wandering
courtney hartman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your generous heart changed me
Listening to the songs you sing
About loving, imperfectly
But loving just the same

Singing, we can make a life of being free
And we can make a life of you and me
And we can make a life of wandering
And the wandering doesn't have to happen alone

Oh, I had begun to lose my hope
Feeling like I was gonna choke
And thinking life was a cruel joke
I want to think a better way

That we can make a life of being free
And we can make a life of you and me
And we can make a life of wandering
And the wandering doesn't have to happen alone

Oh, honeypie come inside
A rhythm of yours fits a rhythm of mine
And we can take all our time
I'm not running away

And we can make a life of being free
And we can make a life of you and me
And we can make a life of wandering
And the wandering doesn't have to happen alone

Ooh-ooh, laying on the floor at the back of auditorium
Ooh-ooh, crying again at the end of every chorus
Ooh-ooh, singing it over and over
Ooh-ooh, let me know I was made to be a lover

And we can make a life of being free
Oh, we can make a life of you and me




And we can make a life of wandering
And the wandering doesn't have to happen alone
