Lyrics
Where were you when the lights went out?
Asking about someone's presence during a difficult or challenging moment.
I ask you this in your defence
Posing the question in a defensive or protective manner.
You fell for a river when all you wanted was a drink
Metaphorically describing a situation where someone desired a small comfort but ended up with something overwhelming.
To me that never made much sense
Expressing confusion about choices or actions that don't seem logical.
Hear me now
An invitation for the listener to pay attention.
With every word I breathe
Stating the intensity and sincerity behind the speaker's words.
Believe in me if you can
Encouraging belief or trust in the speaker.
Yes, hear me now
Reiterating the importance of listening to the speaker's message.
Like a long lost friend
Comparing the relationship with the listener to that of a long-lost friend.
Believe in me if you can
Reinforcing the call for belief or trust in the speaker.
I live my life to the full each day
Expressing a fearless approach to life due to a fear of not experiencing it fully.
'Cause I'm scared of not being alive
Acknowledging a fundamental fear of being alive.
Well, all that I'm wanting is the same for you
Wishing the same fulfillment for the listener.
Don't want to tell you any lies
Expressing a commitment to honesty and avoiding deception.
Hear me now
Repeating the call for attention and understanding.
With every word I breathe
Reiterating the profound and sincere nature of the speaker's words.
Believe in me if you can
Continuing to seek belief or trust from the listener.
Yes, hear me now
Emphasizing the importance of being heard and understood.
Like a long lost friend
Comparing the bond with the listener to that of a long-lost friend.
Believe in me if you can
Persisting in the request for belief or trust.
To all those people that I've never known
Acknowledging potential harm the speaker could cause to unknown individuals.
You know I could do untold harm
Expressing a need for a witness to justify actions or intentions.
So find me a witness
Calling for someone who can provide evidence or reason for the speaker's actions.
Who can justify a reason
Seeking justification or validation for the speaker's choices.
Let them come and raise their hand
Inviting individuals to come forward and support the speaker.
Hear me now
Repeating the call for attention and understanding.
With every word I breathe
Stressing the sincerity and intensity behind the speaker's every word.
Believe in me if you can
Continuing to seek belief or trust from the listener.
Yes, hear me now
Reiterating the significance of being heard and believed.
Like a long lost friend
Comparing the relationship with the listener to that of a long-lost friend.
Believe in me if you can
Persisting in the request for belief or trust.
Hear me now
Repeating the call for attention and understanding.
With every word I breathe
Emphasizing the sincerity and intensity behind the speaker's every word.
Believe in me if you can
Continuing to seek belief or trust from the listener.
Yes, hear me now
Reiterating the importance of being heard and understood.
Like a long lost friend
Comparing the bond with the listener to that of a long-lost friend.
Believe in me if you can
Persisting in the request for belief or trust.
