Swoon
Imogen Heap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your name in lights
Vibrating to your ring tone
My world begins to dance
We discuss important stuff
The rendezvous is set up
To catch a film and dinner

Stuck in a cinema or
Saving me from a car your
Suddenly realize and fall into my arms
Working you under cover
Softly slowly got ya
Any moment now your gonna swoon
Into my arms

A same you
A same me
Spoon feeding the ground dark soil
A friend too good to go there with
Shake it up and get it on
Oh well I know you know you do
And maybe you've not said in so many words
You've always got your reasons
You're a right little know it all

Stuck in a cinema or
Saving me from a car your
Suddenly realize and fall into my arms
Working you under cover
Softly slowly got ya
Any moment now your gonna swoon

Let me be the great Scott
Tip top pit stop in your ocean
I could be the shipmate's wife
Got you down and dirty with the lotion

This is where I was going to sing your name
Over and over again
But I chickened out
I haven't done it
'Cause I thought you probably wouldn't like it

Swoon and fall into my arms

Let me be the great Scott
Tip top pit stop in your ocean
I could be the shipmate's wife
Got you down and dirty with the lotion

Let me be the great Scott
Tip top pit stop in your ocean
I could be the shipmate's wife
Got you down and dirty with the lotion.

I was afraid that you would reject or laugh at me if I went through with my plan


Swoon and fall into my arms
Let yourself be overcome by your feelings for me and allow us to be together
