On Your Own
Finding Light Amidst Darkness: Nick Lachey's On Your Own Journey
Lyrics
You live with a halo 'round your head
You have a positive and virtuous image or reputation.
This time you're leaving
You are departing or ending something.
This place where the walls are painted red
You are leaving a place with intense emotions or experiences ("painted red").
Freedom is what you need
You require freedom.
But if the world should ever fall apart around you
In times of crisis, if everything falls apart, the singer will be there for support.
And if you're lost and barely breathing
If you are in a difficult situation, barely holding on, the singer will be there.
I will find you and carry you back home
The singer promises to find and bring you back home if you are lost.
I won't forsake the only love I've ever known
The singer won't abandon the love they've shared.
When you're out there on your own
Reiteration of the challenging experience of being on your own.
Dark clouds they surround you in the sky
Difficult times are symbolized by dark clouds surrounding you.
Rain falls when you're sleeping
Misfortune or sadness occurs while you are unaware (sleeping).
When you're past the point of no return
Once you pass a certain point, the singer promises to ease your pain.
I'll take away the hurt
The singer vows to alleviate your suffering.
And if the world should ever fall apart around you
Reiteration of the commitment to be there in times of crisis.
And if you're lost and barely breathing
If you're struggling and barely holding on, the singer will be there.
I will find you and carry you back home
Promise to find and bring you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I've ever known
The singer won't abandon the love they've shared.
When you're out there
Reiteration of facing challenges on your own.
And I will wait however long it takes
The singer will patiently wait until you realize what you've been searching for.
'Til you realize what you have been searching for
Waiting for the realization that what you sought was always present.
Was right here all along
The desired realization is that love was always present.
Yeah
A general expression of agreement or acknowledgment.
When you lost the only light you had to guide you
In times of darkness, when you lose guidance, the singer will be there.
And you're cold and barely breathing
When you feel isolated and struggling, the singer will find and help you.
I will find you and carry you back home
The singer promises to find and bring you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I've ever known
Reiteration of not forsaking the shared love.
I won't forsake you
An explicit declaration of not abandoning you.
If the world should ever fall apart around you
If the world falls apart, the singer will be there to support you.
And if you're lost and barely breathing
If you're lost and struggling, the singer will find and help you.
I will find you and carry you back home
The singer promises to find and bring you back home.
And carry you back home
The commitment to bring you back home is reiterated.
I won't forsake the only love I've ever known
The singer won't forsake the love they've known when you're on your own.
When you're out there on your own
Reiteration of facing challenges and being on your own.
