The lyrics

Verse 1 I was a shadow on a midnight street Running from every promise I could keep I wore my freedom like a coat of steel So no one ever knew the way I’d feel Then you appeared beneath a burning sign With storm-cloud eyes looking straight through mine You said, "You’re not as lost as you pretend" And suddenly the road had somewhere to end Verse 2 I saw the walls you built around your name Every locked door, every hidden flame You spoke in riddles, kept your heart concealed But I could see the wounds that hadn’t healed I never came to rescue or command I only came to offer you my hand You could have turned and vanished with the night But you stepped closer into the light I was afraid you’d see too much I was afraid you’d never trust Pre-Chorus But love came crashing through the silence Like thunder breaking over us Chorus Meet me where the wild hearts meet Where the fire and the rain collide Where every doubt falls at our feet And there’s nowhere left for love to hide I’ll be the rhythm beneath your breath You’ll be the reason I believe Through every life, through every death Meet me where the wild hearts meet Verse 3 There will be nights when I forget the way When all my old ghosts have too much to say I might go silent, I might lose the fight I might need you to pull me toward the light Then let me stand where I can see your face You don’t have to carry every weight I cannot promise storms will disappear But you will never face them without me here What if the world wears us down? Then we’ll rebuild on broken ground What if the flame begins to die? Then I’ll bring the spark, and you bring the sky Pre-Chorus We didn’t come this far for nothing We didn’t learn to love just to survive Chorus Meet me where the wild hearts meet Where the fire and the rain collide Where every doubt falls at our feet And there’s nowhere left for love to hide I’ll be the rhythm beneath your breath You’ll be the reason I believe Through every life, through every death Meet me where the wild hearts meet Bridge Don’t give me roses that will fade away Don’t write me promises you cannot say Give me the truth when the truth is hard Give me the whole of your restless heart I won’t give you castles made of air I’ll give you every honest thing I bear The man I am and the man I’ll be No hidden rooms, no missing piece Will you still want me when the years move on? When the morning light has lost its dawn When I’m not fearless, when I’m not strong? I’ll hold you closer when the night runs long Will you still hear me when my voice is low? I’ll hear the words that you never show Will you still choose me when choosing is hard? I chose you once—now you live in my heart Then take my hand! And take my name! Take every hope! Take every flame! No turning back, no separate road From this night on, we share the load! Chorus Meet me where the wild hearts meet Where the fire and the rain collide Where every dream becomes complete And there’s nothing left for us to hide I’ll be the rhythm beneath your breath You’ll be the reason I believe Through every life, through every death Meet me where the wild hearts meet I searched the whole world for a place to stand And all you ever needed was my hand I thought that love would steal my soul But love was what could make you whole Breakdown No more running No more fear No more wondering Why we’re here Every heartbeat Every scar Brought us closer To where we are Final Chorus Meet me where the wild hearts meet At the edge of everything we know Where forever rises to its feet And the strongest kind of love can grow You are the rhythm beneath my breath You are the reason I believe Through every life, through every death I’ll meet you where the wild hearts meet When the world goes dark I’ll be your light When the road gets hard I’ll stay and fight When the years have taken all they can You’ll still be my one and only man Final Refrain Where the wild hearts meet Where the broken learn to dream Where your soul belongs with mine And love is stronger than it seems Meet me there tonight And every night that follows me At the edge of forever Where the wild hearts meet Outro, softly I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there
