Lyrics
Say that you love me
Request to hear the expression of love
Don't let me slip away
Plea to not be forgotten or lost
Break through illusion
To overcome deception or false perceptions
And take a leap today.
Encouragement to take a risk or make a decision now
Here at the crossroads
At a critical decision point
We're suspended in our minds
Feeling mentally suspended or undecided
Waiting and hoping
Anticipating and wishing for something
We will not be left behind.
Determined not to be left behind or forgotten
'Cause I want to be with you
Desire to be together but needing guidance or direction
But I need a place to start
Seeking a starting point for a relationship
I'm surrounded and captured
Feeling ensnared and overwhelmed by someone's affections
By the armies of your heart
Metaphorically controlled by the emotions of the other person
And I feel so alive when I sing,
Experiencing vitality when singing
And I hope you've realized:
Hopeful that the other person comprehends this feeling
Higher and higher
Striving for progress or elevation
And higher as we climb
Continuous advancement and growth
Birds on a wire
Stuck or fixed in a situation
We're frozen in the sky
Feeling trapped or restricted despite the desire to soar
Paint me a doorway
Request for an opportunity or chance
And I'll magic you a key
Offering to provide a solution if given a chance
Tell me a story
Desire for a narrative where someone liberates the speaker
Where the hero sets me free...
Yearning to be freed as a hero might in a story
'Cause I want to be with you
Desire to be together but requiring initiation
But I need a place to start
Recognizing the necessity of a starting point
I'm surrounded and captured
Feeling surrounded and overwhelmed by love or emotions
By the armies of your heart
Sense of being controlled or influenced by the other person's emotions
And I feel so alive - so I sing
Feeling invigorated and lively when singing
And I hope you've realized:
Wishing for the other person to understand this sentiment
I will stay here
Willingness to remain protected and secure
Safe and sheltered in your palm
Ready to wait until it's time to pursue dreams or goals
Till it's time to wing towards the sun.
Metaphorical reference to a transition towards aspirations
Tiger, tiger burning bright
Imagery of a powerful and vibrant entity
Running swiftly through the night
Depiction of swift movement and intensity
Hunted down and caught in flight;
Being pursued and captured in motion
Who will save you now?
Questioning who will offer assistance or aid
'Cause I want to be with you
Desire to be together with certainty from the beginning
And I knew it from the start
Belief in an early understanding of the desire to unite
I'm surrounded and captured
Feeling overwhelmed and ensnared by affection
By the armies of your heart
Sense of being influenced or controlled by the other's emotions
And I feel so alive
Feeling energized and spirited
When I sing and I follow
Following a musical expression with liveliness
As the melody takes flight
Feeling invigorated as the music carries on
Yeah, I feel so alive
Sense of vitality when the song ascends
When the song disappears into the sky
Feeling alive as the song concludes or fades away
It is time.
