My interpretation on Right Here, With You
Everyone was watching you
As everything just slipped away
[How David seems to be losing fans and the record label problem thing?]
All they ever wanted was the light you gave them
[David did give us the light :), and he sure still does]
You’ve always been the sweetest song
And even when the world went wrong
You never let the sun go down and fall to pieces
[Even if the world goes wrong, I’m sure David will be the only thing that is right. He’s just always being so positive towards everything. And clearly, Cook sees that too]
I could never walk away with you, here
[He’s irresistible, we know…]
If the sun stops burning, and the world stops turning
I’ll be right here with you
And if the sky keeps falling, and the night keeps calling
I’ll be right here with you
I’m on your side
[This sounds like a vow to David that Cook will always be there no matter what. It’s almost like a reply to Falling Stars and Cook is stating, “no, even if the sun stops burning and the world stops turning, I’ll still be right here, with you. I’m not gonna be gone.” or something like that]
I could see the way you hide
All the things you keep inside
[This. Totally David. David has always been so private. And of course there are lots of things hidden behind his happy feature and his endearing smiles]
But all you ever wanted was the light to save you
[The light? Representative of God/religion?]
Take the night and tear it down
Never let the sun burn out and fall to pieces
Nothing’s gonna stop us now ‘cause we were born to live forever
[Vague. No clear vision of David from my point of view]
The tides will always change
The waves will always break
And I will be here waiting over time
Forever by your side
Our love will never die
[This breaks me. A little. It’s like, Cook is saying, “It’s okay, Arch. I understand your decision about us. But time marches on (what the heck?) and I want you to know that I will always be here, loving you, no matter what. I will be here waiting, if you want to come back to me, I’m here.”]
[Okay, fml. Uh.]
