Back with Me
Eternal Promise: Anthony Lazaro's Melodic Message of Love and Longing
Lyrics
When you
Expressing anticipation or attention towards someone
Look out the window
Observing the external environment
While the sky flows away
Noting the passage of time as the sky changes
I'll be watching the same stars
Shared experience of looking at the same stars
And I'll hold a little flame
Symbolic gesture of preserving a connection, a flame for the person
For you
Reiterating the focus on a specific person
Nobody knows your soul
Claiming deep understanding of the person's soul
The way that I do
Emphasizing a unique connection between the speaker and the person
Nobody knows about
Acknowledging shared experiences or challenges
The stuff we went through
Referencing difficult times in their relationship
I took this heartbeat
Symbolizing a commitment or offering of the speaker's heart
And I gave you the keys
Granting access or trust to the person
And I'll keep it safe
Committing to safeguarding something valuable
For when you're back with me
Expressing a desire for the person to return
Keeping it safe
Repeating the commitment to keeping something safe for the person's return
Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-For when you're back with me
-Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-For when you're back with me
-And if you
Addressing the person directly
Are feeling a chill
Noting a feeling of coldness or distance
As the night spreads its veil
Describing the night setting in
I will send a warm breeze over
Symbolic gesture of providing warmth and comfort
And I'll drive away the gale
Expressing a desire to dispel difficulties or challenges
Cause
Transition to a repeated refrain emphasizing understanding
Nobody knows your soul
Reiteration of deep understanding of the person
The way that I do
Emphasizing a unique connection between the speaker and the person
Nobody knows about
Acknowledging shared experiences or challenges
The stuff we went through
Referencing difficult times in their relationship
I took this heartbeat
Symbolizing a commitment or offering of the speaker's heart
And I gave you the keys
Granting access or trust to the person
And I'll keep it safe
Committing to safeguarding something valuable
For when you're back with me
Expressing a desire for the person to return
Keeping it safe
Repeating the commitment to keeping something safe for the person's return
Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-For when you're back with me
-Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-For when you're back with me
-Remember what we said
Recalling an agreement or promise made when the person left
When you went away
Acknowledging challenges but asserting a belief in their connection
Nothing really can keep us apart
Asserting the strength of their bond despite physical separation
Thousand days and nights
Quantifying the time and distance of separation
Half a million miles
Expressing determination to overcome challenges
We are gonna slay
Conveying a positive outlook for the future
Keeping it safe
Repeating the commitment to keeping something safe for the person's return
Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-For when you're back with me
-Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-Keeping it safe
-For when you're back with me
-Back, back with me
Reiteration of the desire for the person to return
