Lyrics

There goes my heart  
Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my  
Please   back now

There goes my mind  
And you are the reason
That I'm still  
I'm   now

I'd   every mountain
And   every ocean
Just to be with you
And   what I've broken
Oh, cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

There goes my hands  
And you are the reason
My heart keeps  
I need you now, oh

If I could turn   the clock
I'd make sure the light   the dark
I'd   every hour, of every day, oh
Keeping you   , oh...

I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

I don't want to fight no more
I don't want to hide no more
You are
I don't want to cry no more come back,
I need you to hold me
That you are the reason
A little closer now,
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer,
I need you to hold me tonight

I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
Legend

Meaning

Scott explained the story behind the song:

'You Are The Reason' started out as a song about something completely different than what it is now. It was originally written from a fragile place of anxiety and not knowing the cause of it, so the song started to become 'Without A Reason'. But as we carried on writing, we realized how every relationship has difficult times but you stick with it because the love you fundamentally feel for the other person overrides everything else.
