lyrics

V1
You were the one I searched for
So free to be, so free to shine
And you were all mine (ah, ah, ah)

V2
Chaos all around us
But you are my paradise
I gave you all my pride (ah, ah, ah)

V3
I raised you far above me // You’re my favorite piece
I held the strings so you can fly // Of the scene beneath
Hoping to catch your eye // I hope to catch your eye
(ah, ah, ah)

C1
Oh, my love
Stay with me
When you’re by my side, I’m always on your side

V4
You could break like glass // Soft and innocent
I’ll fight the winds and hands that try // Inelegant
To sweep you away // Hold me as we stand
(ah, ah, ah)

V5
I’ll carry you with me // Carry me with you
With me everywhere I go // Every where you go
I need you there with me // I need you too
(ah, ah, ah)

C1
Oh, my love
I need you
When you’re by my side, I’m always on your side

Tag
Don’t go

Bridge
Swaying, drifting, spinning, laughing
Dance with me now, hold me closer
Wait, no, please, don’t let me go

V6
A sudden gust of change, // A tide of wind
I cry out but it’s too late // My reflection in your eyes
You’re drifting further away // Grows smaller, further away
(ah, ah, ah)

C3
Oh, my love
Why did you let me go?
Please stay by my side, I’m always by your side

Oh, my love
Why did you let me go?
I’m always on your side (ah, ah, ah)
