Lyrics

You mean so much to me
You mean so much to me
You make my life have meaning
You pull me down to earth from the dreaming
You got me when the way is dim and the light is barely visible

[Verse 1]
[drums and synth bass enter]
[male lead vocals]
Yeah, baby please, come on
No matter what the lot you'd always be here
So uncertain is the future my love I can't quite understand
I needed you, I held you, I would hold you tighter
I've been your man
But things change, they turn and they twist
You don't seem to hold hands like we used to
All together
You don't laugh as long at my jokes as you used to
We don't have the faith in each other we once had
And I'm trying to get that back
I just need to put things in perspective
When I want to sit and talk you don't have time
But when you want to sit and talk you choose a time that I'm not ready
It's like tit for tat, I don't want that anymore
I just want to get things back to where they were before

[Chorus]
[vocal harmonies swell]
You mean so much to me
You mean so much to me
You make my life have meaning
You pull me down to earth from the dreaming
You got me when the way is dim and the light is barely visible

[Bridge]
[drums drop out, guitar solo begins]
Oh, I miss that
Please baby, come on, let's talk
[guitar solo continues with melodic bends]

[Verse 2]
[drums and bass re-enter]
Oh, you mean so much to me more than you know
Even when we're quiet I still feel your glow
You used to hold me when I couldn't sleep at night
Now it feels like you're halfway hiding from the light
You keep saying we're fine but your eyes say we're not
You keep walking past me like I'm just a thought
I want to hold you, I want to hold you tight
I want to hold you every time you feel like running from the night
I want to sit and talk, you don't have time to talk
You want to sit and talk, you choose a time that I'm not ready
It's like we're both afraid, we're both scared, we're both tiptoeing
But I'm tired of playing this game, I'm tired of guessing what you're hiding

[Chorus]
[full band with vocal harmonies]
You mean so much to me
You mean so much to me
You make my life have meaning
You pull me down to earth from the dreaming
You got me when the way is dim and the light is still visible

[Outro]
[music softens]
I still need you
Please don't close me out
Come on baby, we can fix this
Is it about us or is it about you?
Is it about love or is it about truth?
Is it about fighting or is it about giving up?
Is it about us or is it about us giving all we got?
You mean so much to me
You mean so much to me
You make my life have meaning
You pull me down to earth from the dreaming
You got me when the way is dim and the light is barely visible
[vocal ad-libs]
I still love you
Please don't go
Come on baby, we could fix this
You mean so much to me
You mean so much to me
