When It All Comes Down

Bonnie Mckee

I knew, she knew
We both knew
That someday all of this would end
I tried to help
But all I seem to do is hurt
Not only her, but myself

And someday,
I'll be on the road again
And someday, ah ha
I'll meet you at the top, my friend

Don't cry, don't cry...
Although I know it's hard to comprehend
Don't cry, don't cry...

I'll hold your hand if you'll hold mine
When it all comes down
Close your eyes
I'll hold your hand, if you'll hold mine
When it all comes down
And take a big, deep breath

It feels so empty
Without my hand entwined with yours
I don't know where to go
Cause I'm all alone
Ain't got nobody on my side
Can't come around here no more

And someday,
I'll be on the road again
And someday,
I'll meet you at the top, my friend

Don't cry, don't cry...
Although I know it's hard to comprehend
Don't cry, don't cry...

I'll hold your hand, if you'll hold mine
When it all comes down
Close your eyes
I'll hold your hand, if you'll hold mine
When it all comes down
Take a big, deep breath

When it all comes down, I'll be there
There is nothing for you to fear
When it all comes down, you'll know
You never have to stand alone

I know you're feeling afraid, girl
I know you're feeling alone
But when you feel you can't make it on your own

I'll hold your hand, if you'll hold mine
When it all comes down
Close your eyes
I'll hold your hand, if you'll hold mine
When it all comes down
And take a big, deep breath

    I'll hold your hand if you hold mine when it all comes down Close your eyes, I'll hold your hand if you hold mine when it all comes down take a big deep breathe

    It feels so empty without your hand entwined with mine, i don't know where to go but I'm all alone, ain't got nobody on my side Can't come around here no more

    and someday, I'll be on the road again and someday, I'll meet you at the top my friend, don't cry, don't cry although I know it's hard to comprehend don't cry, don't cry, don't

    I'll hold your hand if you hold mine when it all comes down Close your eyes, I'll hold your hand if you hold mine when it all comes down take a big deep breathe

    I know you're feeling afraid girl, I know you're feeling alone but when you think you can't make it on your own,

    I'll hold your hand if you hold mine when it all comes down Close your eyes, I'll hold your hand if you hold mine when it all comes down

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
