Chords for the song
Pre-Chorus:
G#m
And it feels like fear
E
Like I'll dissapear
G#m
Gets so hard to steer
E
Yet I go on
G#m
Do we need debate
E
When it seems too late
G#m
Like I bleed but wait
E
Like nothing's wrong
Chorus
C#m B F#
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
C#m E F#
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
C#m B F#
You lift my higher, take my spirit, make it fly
C#m E F#
Where only wonders will appear

| To me it's about someone telling their loved one that despite everything bad that happens or all the flaws that they have, they are the most important, uplifting and special part of their lives. A friend of mine also mentioned it could be put in a religious context. Now I know that POTF aren't a religious band, but I can definately see where she was coming from. | |

| What a great song. It deals with the loved one leaving after all the disputes, and the need for him/her to return. | |

| Has anybody seen the music video. It makes the meaning even more confusing, but also in some ways clears it up. It starts out with a close up view of a roach. Then pans out to the singer who is in prison before a parole board. He releases a butterfly. They do a Roscharsch test and he tries to tell them it looks like a butterfly but the board thinks he's crazy. It's the buterfly that gives the video meaning. But anyway, I love Poets of the Fall and this is a great song. | |
