Where Did You Go? Lyrics
And it feels like this
Is the last chance I have to say
Every word that I've been fighting
Well, I have finally decided
To hold my head up with pride
And accept the way
Life takes you through these changes
'Cause when you reach the stars
You've made it
It's just something that I've
Been dying to let you know
And now that you're gone
I'm holding on
And I just can't let go
I get a little down on myself
But when you came around
My whole world felt new
I opened up my eyes to the light
And I saw deep inside
Of a love I felt was true
And if I ever let you go
(Let you go)
I'm hoping that some time will show
(Some time will show)
That you're the one
You're the one for me
And it feels like this
The perfect time for me to say
That deep down inside I'm hurting
But at least I know you're worth it
And if I hold myself with pride
And accept the pain
(Accept the pain)
Then life will take me through these changes
'Cause I have so much left to see
It's just something that I've
Been dying to let you know
'Cause now that you're gone
I'm holding on, and I just can't let go
I get a little down on myself
But when you came around
My whole world felt new
I opened up my eyes to the light
And I saw deep inside
Of a love I felt was true
And if I ever let you go
(Let you go)
I'm hoping that some time will show
(Some time will show)
That you're the one
You're the one for me
So let's go back down
To the back of that river
Where we we can dive right in
And forget about the worries
From the world outside
'Cause you know
My world, my world's not over
Because I have an angel on my shoulder
And I'll be coming home
And when I feel those butterflies
I'll see that I need to find a better way
Just to believe you're gone
So long
Some day I'll find the strength to move on
I get a little down on myself
But when you came around
My whole world felt new
I opened up my eyes to the light
And I saw deep inside
Of a love I felt was true
And if I ever let you go
(Let you go)
I'm hoping that some time will show
(Some time will show)
'Cause you're the one
You're the one for me
Is the last chance I have to say
Every word that I've been fighting
Well, I have finally decided
To hold my head up with pride
And accept the way
Life takes you through these changes
'Cause when you reach the stars
You've made it
Been dying to let you know
And now that you're gone
I'm holding on
And I just can't let go
But when you came around
My whole world felt new
I opened up my eyes to the light
And I saw deep inside
Of a love I felt was true
And if I ever let you go
(Let you go)
I'm hoping that some time will show
(Some time will show)
That you're the one
You're the one for me
The perfect time for me to say
That deep down inside I'm hurting
But at least I know you're worth it
And accept the pain

Then life will take me through these changes
'Cause I have so much left to see

I agree with xalixo. It's "my whole world felt new"
As for the meaning, I have two theories.
1.) He's taking a good look at where he's at and realizing he's still holding onto a past relationship (ie: dana). He reflects on the relationship in an optimistic way, though, and he knows he'll never forget how she made him feel. This song is him admitting that though he misses her and the relationship was perfect, he has to move on. This is basically him getting closure on that part of his life and using that experience as something to grow from.
2.) This could be about a completely new relationship. He's found a new girl that has finally filled the hole that's brought him down in the past. He's accepting the fact that life goes on, and he's excited that this new love is making his world colorful again.
Either way I think this song can be summed up in a phrase: when one door closes, another opens. It's a song about closure and new beginnings.
Actually, I know for a fact that Shane's (the singer's) girlfriend just died in a car accident, and he said that this song along with the whole album is about her, and how he is coping with her passing.

"Cause you know My world, my world's not over Because I have an angel on my shoulder"
"Cause you know My world, my world's not over Because I have an angel on my shoulder"
and his girlfriends death is why "That deep down inside I'm hurting But at least I know you're worth it"

you can listen to pretty much any other song on the album and hear related lyrics ('Head in Hands'...
you can listen to pretty much any other song on the album and hear related lyrics ('Head in Hands' for one). hope i helped :]
the question marks for the third line in the chorus im almost positive should be "my whole world felt new"
amazing song and i cant wait for the new albummm
i agree with veggiestyle. i think its your first theory though, because if you have his promise of redemption album thats basically all about dana, you can hear the two references to the song "remember the first day" which are "it's just something that ive been dying to let you know" and the "so lets go down to the bank of this river..."
(I'm sorry for posting so many comments!)
I just wanted to say that I just listened and read the lyrics to Remember the First Day. And it's crystal clear that this song is all about Dana. Everything about this song is referencing to that song, even down to the title. So yes, this is a song about him getting, if not closure, then at least acknowledging how much he's still holding on.
yep, i agree.
I get a little down on myself. but when you came around My whole world felt new I opened up my eyes to the light and I saw deep inside of a love i felt was true And if I ever let you go I'm hoping that some time will show That you're the one for me
these are the lyrics i got from JD
love this song, their new album is awesome. but i think this song is about his ex girlfriend--i tend to think that about a lot of his music... it'a hard not to. i'm glad he's approaching things from a happier standpoint.:)
i love valencia and what they've done with this new album. it is strong lyrically and musically. i'm so proud of them.
I could listen to this song on repeat for a month straight, seriously.
