Lyrics
Nothing I can say while I'm drifting
Expressing a sense of helplessness or inability to communicate while in a state of drifting.
Slipping in and out 'til I see you
Describing a state of being in and out, with a desire to see someone specific.
Don't wake me 'til I'm holding you
Expressing a wish not to be disturbed until physically holding the person being referred to.
Still shaking from the fear of waking
Feeling physically and emotionally affected by the fear of waking up.
I don't wanna live without you
Expressing a strong desire not to live without a specific person and wanting to keep them close.
I don't wanna live without you
-Can I keep us locked in my room
-Can I keep us locked in my room
-I was running through the meadows
Recalling a past experience of running through meadows with someone described as a "ghetto boy."
Through the meadows with my ghetto boy
-Come and see me in the shadows
-I've been waiting in the corners for you
-Come on, baby, lift your head up
Encouraging the person to lift their head up and realize the solitude, emphasizing the waiting connection.
Look around and see that we're alone
-Don't you think it's time you noticed
-This is everything that's waiting for you
-Nobody's gonna hurt you
Reassuring the person that nobody will harm them and questioning their perception or concern.
Nobody's gonna do this for you
-What you say? What you say?
-Nobody's gonna hurt you
-Nobody's gonna do this for you
-What you say? What you say?
-Lights shine in an instant
Describing a moment when lights shine, providing clarity and realization of what has been missing.
It makes it clearer to see you
-For a moment its been overdue
-But then I see just what I'm missing and know
-I don't want to live without you
Repeating the desire not to live without the specific person and the wish to keep them close.
(No without you baby)
-I don't want to live without you
-Can I keep us locked in my room
-Can I keep us locked in my room
-I was running through the meadows
Reiterating the memory of running through meadows and waiting in the corners for the "ghetto boy."
Through the meadows with my ghetto boy
-Come and see me in the shadows
-I've been waiting in the corners for you
-Come on, baby, lift your head up

Look around and see that we're alone

-What you say? What you say?
-No one needs to ever know
Declaring that the depth of feelings doesn't need to be known by others, expressing determination to run despite obstacles.
Just how deep our feelings go
-No one's gonna tell them nothing
-Nothing's gonna keep me from running, oh

Recalling the experience of running through meadows with the "ghetto boy" and waiting for their presence.
