Travis - Where You Stand Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
Where You Stand Released:
2013 Bumper car me left or right
I’ll take a thousand knocks
There’s a happy man in there
And you won’t blink your eyes
Like all the things you lost before I
Right where you left me you know-oh
Like all the things you found
Mmm mmm
Don’t taste them just swallow them whole
I forfeit my time
And wait
While you make up your mind
So tell me
If you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you
Where You StandLift me up or tear me down
I’ll stand right up again
There’s happy soul in there
But you won’t let him in
Like all the things we say before me
Crumble and fall to the floor
Like all the things we try
Aye aye
I know where it’s headed and so
I forfeit my time
And wait while you re-make up your mind up
So tell me
If you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand
I will deliver
Where you stand I will not fall
Where you stand there is no ocean
Nor a river nor a shore
I fall into line
And wait while you make up your mind
So tell me if you ever find your flag
I forfeit my time
And wait
While you make up your mind
So tell me
If you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand

LyricFindWhere You Stand This life-affirming song is the first single and title track from the Scottish Indie band Travis' seventh studio album. It was released on April 30, 2013. The single was accompanied by the shorter radio mix, which also uses more of an orchestration on the chorus. The song was written by Travis bassist Dougie Payne and London singer-songwriter Holly Partridge. The latter wrote, sung and played guitar for female rock band The Shebeats, who have supported Razorlight, Pete Doherty, and the Maccabees amongst others. She has also sung backing vocals for Ben Folds. Holly Partridge penned the lyrics. Vocalist Fran Healy told The Sun: "I think it is about remaining with something even when it isn't working. We often give up at the first sign of difficulty but if you have the will there is always the way." The Where You Stand album was recorded at Ocean Sound Recordings, Giske, in northwest Norway and Hansa Tonstudio, Berlin. The cover photograph was taken out of the door of the Norwegian studio by Healy. He told The Sun: "The cows wandered into that shot and we didn't see them until looking later. We couldn't have placed them better."
