Before You Go
A Poetic Anthem of Reassurance and Belonging
Lyrics
You're a treasure in a lonely desert
You represent something valuable in a desolate and solitary environment.
You're the sunrise over distant mountaintops
You bring the beauty of a sunrise to distant mountain peaks.
You're a flower in a dried up inland sea
You're like a flower in a dried-up inland sea, a symbol of beauty in a barren place.
You're the moonlight dancing high up in the trees
Your presence is like moonlight gracefully moving among the trees.
Before you go
Expressing reassurance and comfort, encouraging the person to close their eyes and trust that everything will be okay.
You should know
-That in my heart
-You have a home
-If you grow weary
-Or you're afraid
-Just close your eyes girl
-'Cause everything will be okay
-You're a highway in an open countryside
You're compared to a highway in an open countryside, symbolizing a path or journey.
You're the twilight setting fire to the sky
You're the twilight that sets the sky on fire, implying a beautiful and transformative presence.
You're a pearl hidden on the ocean floor
You're a precious hidden treasure on the ocean floor, suggesting hidden depth and value.
You're the nighttime city lights of Rome
You're like the city lights of Rome at night, signifying brightness and allure.
Before you go
Reiteration of reassurance, emphasizing the safety and belonging the person has in the speaker's heart.
You should know
-That in my heart
-You have a home
-If you grow weary
-Or you're afraid
-Just close your eyes girl
-'Cause everything will be okay
-Well we've cut each other deep a time or two
Acknowledgment of past emotional wounds in the relationship.
But have we ever really tried to patch the wounds?
Raising a question about whether they have genuinely tried to heal and mend their emotional scars.
Before you go
Reiteration of the message of reassurance and comfort, emphasizing that everything will be okay despite past difficulties.
You should know
-That in my heart
-You have a home
-If you grow weary
-Or you're afraid
-Just close your eyes girl
-'Cause everything will be okay
-'Cause everything will be okay
