The song ‘With you’ is about a friend of Matt Simons whose lost his daughter. Matt Simons is trying to formulate what the father would say to his daughter and that he would always be there for her.
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That's the way it's always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the ones we love so dear
[Chorus:]
I'll be with you, I'll be waiting for you
On the other side, on the other side
And the winds that blow they'll guide you home
Get you through the night, get you through the night
It'll all be right
[Verse 2:]
My job to control you
Darling, though I barely know you
Hoping you grow tired and start giving in
Spout of holy water
Pour it on my only daughter
Maybe there's a shot she'll begin again
[Chorus:]
I'll be with you, I'll be waiting for you
On the other side, on the other side
And the winds that blow they'll guide you home
Get you through the night, get you through the night
It'll all be right
[Bridge:]
So wrong
And I'm here to make it right for what it's worth
And I'm sorry, yes, I'm sorry if you never felt
The love, the love, the love that you deserve
[Chorus:]
I'll be with you, I'll be waiting for you
On the other side, on the other side
And the winds that blow they'll guide you home
Get you through the night, get you through the night
It'll all be right
It'll all be right
