Lyrics

When you throw your arms around me

Expressing the comfort and security felt when embraced

You know that I'll be there

Promising reliability and support in times of need

'Till you were lost in the way you found me

Reflecting on the discovery of each other and staying committed

You know that I'll be there

Reiterating the commitment to be there for the other person


We all need someone just to keep hanging on

Highlighting the universal need for someone to rely on

It's enough to hold you here in my arms

Stating that the speaker's presence is enough for comfort


The light that we share gonna light up the sky

Emphasizing the positive impact of their connection

I sit and I stare as if I don't care

Acknowledging a detached demeanor, possibly to protect

It's just the child in me won't go away

Explaining emotional detachment as a defense mechanism

I beg you to stay this is my prayer

Pleading for the other person to stay, revealing vulnerability


When I was young I was selfish darling I wanted my own way

Admitting past selfishness and desire for independence

You were the shock to the system darling

Describing the partner as a catalyst for change

A chance for sudden sway

Highlighting the transformative impact of the relationship

We all make mistakes I'm all over the place

Acknowledging personal flaws but affirming commitment

But you know that I'll be there in the end

Reassuring that support will be provided until the end


The light that we share gonna light up the sky

Reiterating the positive influence of their connection

I sit and I stare and I don't know why

Expressing confusion about personal feelings and actions

It's just the child in me won't go away

Linking emotional struggles to a lingering inner child

I beg you to stay this is my prayer

Pleading again for the other person to stay


The light that we share gonna light up the sky

Repeating the theme of shared positivity and its impact

I sit and I stare and I don't know why

Reiterating confusion and introspection without clear answers

It's just the child in me won't go away

Connecting emotional challenges to an enduring inner child

I beg you to stay this is my prayer

Renewing the plea for the partner to stay, underscoring importance


The light that we share gonna light up the sky

Emphasizing the continued positive impact of their connection

I sit and I stare and I don't know why

Expressing persistent confusion and introspection

It's just the child in me won't go away

Reiterating the influence of an enduring inner child on emotions
