Description
Sometimes life resembles a poorly tuned radio - it seems to be playing, but there is static, interference, and unfamiliar voices. Until someone you know turns it on, and suddenly all the noise becomes music. And it becomes clear why it was worth putting up with all that interference.
This is all about that feeling when chaos suddenly ceases to be a constant state, and meaning appears - even if only in the form of a single smile. The song sounds like a revelation after a long pause: a little gratitude, a little light, and a lot of air after a long period of drowning. It's a moment when, for the first time in a long time, your heart isn't just beating - it's alive.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Before you, I was doing my best, before you, I was still a mess
Wanderin' 'round this town, didn't have a clue, before you
I don't have to say I'm not perfect, babe
You already know, and you love me just the same
Before you, my heart was running on empty
Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely
Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire
No, there ain't nothin' I won't do
To be the man I want to be for you
Letting go of the things in my past
All the heartbreaks holding me back
Was trying to find my own way to something new, then in walked you
I can't count the times that you've helped me through
I thank God for you, you made me living proof
'Cause before you, my heart was running on empty
Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely
Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire
No, there ain't nothin' I won't do
To be the man I want to be for you
Before you, my heart was running on empty
Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely
Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire
No, there ain't nothin' I won't do
To be the man I want to be for you
To be the man I want to be for you
