Yours - Russell Dickerson

The Experience: "The best me has his arms around you" and so "the worst me is just a long gone memory". What can you become with the support of the person you love?

Music video: In the video Russell sings the song while walking down a country highway in the midst of a thunderstorm while dreaming of holding his beloved.

The Meaning of Yours: When you are in a healthy relationship the other person makes you an even better person (best me has his arms around you). They challenge you to become the best version of yourself (you make me better than I was before) and you do the same for them. 

Ask yourself: Do you empower the person you love to become the best version of themselves? Do they empower you to do the same?

Album: YOURS (2016)

LYRICS:

I was a boat stuck in a bottle

that never got the chance to touch the sea

just forgot on the shelf no wind in the sails

going nowhere with no one but me

I was one in a hundred billion

a burn out star in a galaxy

just lost in the sky wondering why

everyone else shines out but me

but...

I came to life when I first kissed you

the best me has his arms around you

you make me better than I was before

Thank God I'm YOURS

I was a worn out set of shoes

wandering the city streets

another face in the crowd, head looking down

lost in the sound of a lonely melody

Empty pockets at a roulette

always landing on a lost bet

just live for the spin, hope for the win

go all in just to lose again but...

I came to life when I first kissed you

the best me has his arms around you

you make me better than I was before

Thank God I'm YOURS

The worst me is just a long gone memory

you put a new heartbeat inside of me

you make me better than I was before

Thank God I'm YOURS
