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
