Follow Through
Gavin DeGraw Lyrics
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I, haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you wanna be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you wanna be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
oh what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you wanna be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
So since you wanna be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

Yes!!! 16 years ago the Love of my Life gave me this song. We’ve been together since then. Everytime I hear this song, I fall in love all over again 😍

I haven’t listened to this song in years!! But it still pulls on my heart strings like few songs ever have. Takes me back in time when I was having tumultuous times in my marriage…I now have a new life. ❤

@lori Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.
Andy Pashenka
Brings a whole set of memories of being young, with friends online. No racism. No discrimination. No responsibilities. Just people who shared the same music interest such as this. Life was good
