Shelter
sam.wallace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Starin’ out the window, at the rain pourin’ down.
I can’t help but think of, these feelings I’ve found.
Wrapped up with you right now, it’s easy to see,
There’s no other place, I’d rather be.

(Chorus)
Yeah the lightning is flashin’ and the thunder is crashin’ away.
You press your lips to mine and move a little closer to me.
You got me under your spell, girl you knock me down to my knees.
Come hell or high water, you’re the one I run to,
I got everything I need, in this shelter with you.

(Verse 2)
Many years later several storms have come through.
They’ve only made us stronger, draws me closer to you.
Been blessed by the grace of God, he’s opened our eyes.
The dark stormy days were just blessings in disguise.

(Chorus)
Yeah the lightning is flashin’ and the thunder is crashin’ away.
You press your lips to mine and move a little closer to me.
You got me under your spell, girl you knock me down to my knees.
Come hell or high water, you’re the one I run to,




I got everything I need, in this shelter with you.
I got everything I need, in this shelter with you.

Shelter, helter skelter.
Stared at the flashing blade.
Shelter, helter skelter.
Death becomes a waste.

Shelter, helter skelter.
Inside the wicked Mans(i)on.
Shelter, helter skelter.
Face the vile's twisted judg(e)ment!
