Watch Over You lyrics

Dec 19th 2011 6:54 am

A feeling of a dying man whose love is spurned but he still loves her and sings this before he is gone forever.

The song is about leaving a girl who is way to deep in drug addiction and he must move on to save himself.

It is most defiantly " i must go" not "fall must go"

Um, the official lyrics are actually in the cd jacket... From the band itself. Hendrixrox has them right, just sayin'. As far as the meaning, for me it means a lot of things personally which i won't post here. I think the initial 2 replies are pretty accurate generally speaking. Other than that... Rock on ab!

He's talking about a girl with a drug problem. He loves her but he can't take to see her harm herself anymore. So he's gone.

The man say he must go cause the girl could not give him enough love, but when he walk away, there's so much about her he's still concerned. Or these words are just something he try to put out to touch her heart?

But the ending is hurtful still: you long to hear my voice, but i'm long gone. Why it always takes too long to realize one's heart, and it's always late. Someone has sent me this song and he told me that he loved the song, but he never knew that the song's killed me twice, third and even more.

Cause i'm the one who is watching over him, but never know if he would ever look back and "long to hear my voice". And would it be too late?

I love this song ... But im pretty sure the lyrics are wrong when it says "i must go" its not "i" its "fall" "fall must go" listen to the song and see because i tried to see if i was wrong but im still convinced its "fall must go"

This song reminds me of my ex, who was my best friend for 3 years before we got together. We still see eachother every now and then but i know it'll never be the same no matter how hard we try to go back to being the inseperable twins we used to be. That is, before anything ever happened between us. Sometimes i still feel like nobody will know him the way i do but now that i'm leaving the country, it just feels like this song says everything i want him to know.

For k. My twin. My best friend. My favorite home. I'll always love you. Because its far too late to stop now.
