Walk With Me
various artists Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide

I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream

And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been

I didn't hear you leave
I wasn't aware of your departure

I wonder how am I still here
I'm questioning my own existence without you

And I don't want to move a thing

It might change my memory
If I move or change anything, I may forget the moments we had together

I need you to be with me to feel complete
