Where I Belong
Finding Home in Heartfelt Moments
Lyrics
I knew I’d get there, but where do I belong?
I anticipated reaching a destination, but I'm uncertain about where I truly belong.
I didn’t know what I was looking for.
I was unaware of what I was searching for.
But then I met you, we were six years old
Encountered you at the age of six, and you kept my heart in the place I desired the most.
You kept my heart where I wanted it most.
Your presence ensured that my heart stayed in its desired state.
Hold on to me, we’re gonna make it through
Hold on to me; we will overcome challenges together.
I’m gonna watch where you fall so I can catch you.
I will observe your struggles so I can be there to support and catch you.
When you get lost I’m gonna find you
When you are lost, I will find you.
And say: “Hey! Take me away”
Expressing a desire to be taken away.
Hold on to me, we gotta make this true
Hold on to me; let's make our shared aspirations a reality.
And I’ll be there, I’ll take care of you.
I will be present and take care of you.
If you get lost I’ll go and find you
If you lose your way, I will actively seek and find you.
And say: “Hey! Don’t go away”
Expressing a plea not to go away.
I knew you’d be there, ‘cause that’s where I belong
Anticipation that the person will be there because that's where the speaker belongs.
I didn’t know I’d get there on my own.
Realization that the destination was reached, but not on one's own.
Remember climbing those roof tops?
Recollection of shared experiences, possibly adventurous ones like climbing rooftops.
We watched the sun ‘till it had gone.
Together, watching the sunset until it disappeared.
Hold on to me, we’re gonna make it through
Reiteration of mutual support to overcome challenges.
I’m gonna see where you fall so I can catch you.
The speaker will be watchful, ready to catch the other person when they stumble.
When you get lost I’m gonna find you
Commitment to finding the person when they are lost.
And say: “Hey! Take me away”
Expressing the desire to be taken away again.
Hold on to me, we gotta make this true
Continuation of the theme of mutual support and commitment.
And I’ll be there, I’ll take care of you.
The speaker pledges to be there and take care of the other person.
If you get lost I’ll go and find you
If the person gets lost, the speaker promises to find them.
And say: “Hey! Don’t go away”
Reiteration of the plea not to go away.
Take me with you, I’m gonna climb the moon
Expressing a desire to accompany the person, using a metaphor of climbing the moon.
From where you’ll fall and I’ll catch you.
The speaker will be there to catch the person if they fall from the metaphorical moon.
You won’t get lost ‘cause I’ll guide you
The assurance that the person won't get lost as the speaker will guide them.
And say: “ Hey! Don’t leave my way”
Repetition of the plea not to leave the speaker's way.
