Analysis of Together

Jessikah Bailey 1988 (United States)



a mixture of pain and happiness
im feeling so confused
i dont know where i stand with you
sometimes we're happy
not a care in the world
other times its like
we're starting the third world war
i love being with you
and the way you make me feel
i just dont know if
the feelings are real
i want to tell you
these things im holding inside
but i just dont know when's the right time
one day it'll go back
to the way it used to be
before when it felt like just you and me
i'll wait our time and think of you
together we will make it through
