When I Get There Lyrics
You're still trying to capture the moment, i'm living in it
You're still trying to pry your heart open, the sky's been my limit
I've been wondering if you are ever gonna meet me halfway
Someday, will you ever make me happy baby
When I get there i'm finally free
When I get there i'm home
When I get there i'll turn the key
When I get there i'll know
I don't know where i'm going
But i'm going and i'll know it when I get there
Can't wait another minute
Cause your heart just isn't in it and it's not fair
When I get there i'm finally free
When I get there i'm home
When I get there i'll turn the key
When I get there i'll know
I see myself in a cathedral all dress in white
That someone is willing and waiting to be there by my side
I don't know where i'll find him
But i'm sure enough gonna find him somewhere
Out there, I know he's gonna make me happy baby
When I get there i'm finally free
When I get there i'm home
When I get there i'll turn the key
When I get there i'll know
I don't know where i'm going
But i'm going and i'll know it when I get there
Can't wait another minute
Cause your heart just isn't in it and it's not fair
I don't know how i'll make it
So I guess i'm gonna fake it till i'm somewhere
I don't know where i'm going
But i'm going and i'll know it when I get there
I've been thinking about our situation
It's not what I want
If you can't get what you've given
You got to be moving on
I got no hard feelings, just a heart that needs healing
It takes time, but i'll find another road
Then I will know he's the one
Sure as rain, sure as sun
Till the day hope is gone I will keep holding on
I don't know where i'm going
But i'm going and i'll know it when I get there
Can't wait another minute
Cause your heart just isn't in it and it's not fair
I don't know how i'll make it
So I guess i'm gonna fake it till i'm somewhere
I don't know where i'm going
But i'm going and i'll know it when I get there
When I get there i'm finally free
When I get there i'm home
When I get there i'll turn the key
When I get there i'll know
When I get there i'm finally free
When I get there i'm home
When I get there i'll turn the key
When I get there i'll know
When I get there i'm finally free
When I get there i'm home
When I get there i'll turn the key
When I get there i'll know
Okay i'm definitely feeling this song right now.
This song is about a girl who is with a guy, but the guy hasn't fully opened himself up to her when she's giving all her heart and soul. And now she's having second thoughts about their relationship.
-linds "i don't know where i'm going, but i'm going and i'll know it when i get there."
I loved this song when it first came out when I was in the sixth grade. The other day it came on randomly on my iTunes and I fell in love with it all over again. I think the meaning of the song is pretty straightforward. I just really love the sense of hopefulness in the song. It's like, "This relationship isn't gonna be forever, but there's something out there for me that's amazing and real and true." Amazing song.
I LOVE THIS SONG! IT IS SO HEARTFELT, AND TRUE. I THINK ANYONE CAN RELATE. THIS SONG IS ABOUT A GIRL WHO IS IN LOVE WITH A MAN, BUT SHE ISN'T SURE IF HE FEELS EXACTLY THE WAY SHE DOES. SHE IS READY TO MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL---MARRIAGE--AND HE IS STILL NOT SHOWING SIGNS OF OPENESS. SHE IS WILLING TO MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL OR JUST MOVE ON TO SOMEONE SHE CAN TRUST; SOMEONE SHE SAYS "WILL MAKE ME HAPPY."
