The sixth track on Rachel Platten’s Wildfire has her singing about a lover who has aided an apparent depression. Without them, she’s ok, but with them, she’s in a better place.
[Verse 1]
I'll tell the world, I'll sing the song
It's a better place since you came along
Since you came along
Your touch is sunlight through the trees
Your kisses are the ocean breeze
Everything's alright when you're with me
[Chorus]
And ah, you're my favorite thing
Ah, all the love that you bring
But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
[Verse 2]
I see the whole world in your eyes
It's like I've known you all my life
We just feel so right
So I pour my heart into your hands
It's like you really understand
You love the way I am
[Chorus]
And ah, you're my favorite thing
Ah, all the happiness you bring
But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
And the sun paints the skies
And the wind sings our song
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
Ooh-ooh, ahh-ahh
Ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Now I'm alright, now I'm alright
Everything's alright
[Chorus]
'Cause it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
