Meaning

The guitarist of The Calling, Aaron Kamin, wrote this song which caught on with the touching message of following someone to the ends of the earth.

Aaron explained in a radio interview:

"At the time my grandmother's best friend had passed away and she left behind a husband of 50 or more years and I was at the funeral and afterwards I just started thinking of what it would be like to be him and have your whole life change so dramatically and not for the best in a matter of moments. Somebody that you live and grow with and are one with, just to be gone, is crazy and I figured all he ever thinks about probably is finding a way to get back to her or be with her or make sure she's alright or something like that. That was the sentiment behind that."

Lyrics

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love
to light the shadows on your face

If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone,
could you make it on your own

If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low,
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you,
to guide you through the darkest of your days

If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there
who can bring me back to you

If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low,
I'll go wherever you will go

run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind,
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low,
I'll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time,
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine,
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go
Play with the song, fill the gaps
