Stand Inside Your Love Lyrics

You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Inseparable

And for the last time
You're everything that I want and asked for
You're all that i dream

Who wouldn't be the one you love?
Who wouldn't stand inside your love?

Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful,
You don't understand
Don't fear me now,
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world,
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart

And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn in my mind,
Recast as child and mystic sage

Who wouldn't be the one you love?
Who wouldn't stand inside your love?

For the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound in my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now

Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for?
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for?
Who wouldn't be the one you love?

I try not to listen to this song too often, don't want to lose the feeling it gives me through over playing it. It's such an emotional song. I see it as a song about being in love, but it's very dark in places. It feels like a love that isnt fully recipricated and it tears you apart. The "i'm telling how much i need and bleed for your every move and waking sound in my time.." verse is the dark one for me. This song lyrically just makes so much sense to me and musically it's very powerful.

@kenzi182 I feel the same way! This above all songs - really the entire album - transports me back to that time when I met my beautiful wife. And I don't want to lose that feeling of emotional time travel!!!

@kenzi182 wow your comment really hit the spot with me even though its a dark thought, I hope you read this, as I see this was posted years ago. I heard this song a few weeks ago and totally forgot about it and now I am trying to not overplay it I should delete it from my playlist for a little bit.....its dark thought because I am going through this right now . ughhh the part you have in quotes just hits me so hard right now. appreciate your explnation

I think its about admitting to someone that you love them, but them not feeling the same about you

I think treestump is right. But I love how the lyric takes a differnt view of love. It easy to say I love you in a song but this says in all the world I want you to be the person to love me. This is a great song

The love that Billy talks about is so amazing that he doesn't see how anyone could not want to be the one SHE loves...he's amazed by her, and he's letting her know it with his whole heart.

Actually, although Billy apparently wrote this song really quickly, he said it was the most meaningful love song he had written. I actually used the words to this song for my Reading in Church at our Wedding Blessing! It probably went over the heads of most people there with it's darkness, but it meant a great deal to us. Love is a beautiful mystery...

I believe this song is about falling in love with someone completely and they do not feel the same. It's about true, unwavering, and unrequited love. The singer knows that they are doomed and it won’t work out. Regardless, they are confessing their love. It is the purest form of love: true and selfless.

Best lyrical word of Billy in my opinion. This song is probably the most underrated song ever.

I think it's about two people who are unchanging. so its impossible for them to be together, because the same things keep happening over again. but he loves her...he'd do anything for her. the relationship is just impossible.

it's sort of like,declaring love...more-less...i think it's the girl that's just little unsure about the whole relationship...she doesn't know because she had never saw him like that before...he sort of expects her to feel the same...i think it's a relationship between "Glass" and his girlfriend or something...it's still a wonderful song

I'd been trying to write a poem like that for six years, Billy is not only underrated as a musician but also as a poet. I've said the line to myself a thousand times since, and every time I say it I get closer to believing it. "Who wouldn't be the one I love?"

this song gives me the chills, every lyric in this song is pure love for whoever he is writing about, truly a deep and meaningful love song
