This song is about hanging on to love. No matter how secure you are in love, there is always the risk of losing it whether by rejection, death, or indifference. When life stops in the middle of the night and you awaken to the stark realization that you are desperate for love, you embrace the fact that you can't live without it, that you need love to help you navigate through life.
LYRICS:
When I thought that I had lost you / my heart was heavy drowning in rain
I despaired that my life without you would never see the sun again
Then you reappeared / a phantom in the mist
And everything I feared like fog began to lift
Chorus: Don’t ever leave me or forsake me
Cannot live without you take me
Won't you help me discover the way to go
When I thought that I would never be a better person without you
I despaired that I was about to end up desolate and lonely
Then you walked back in / a shadow in my dream
I awoke again / felt you here with me
Repeat Chorus.
Bridge: Cannot see Cannot breathe Cannot be without you rx2
return to chorus and end
