Water
Martika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You reach into me and I ripple round in circles
Reflections of my dreams in yours
Bring me to the shores of desire
I have been like a desert creature
Wandering on this earth so cracked and dry
But now your love is bringing me alive
Like water, how could I do without you?
My body heat will not cool down
Like water, I could not live without you
I want to dive so deep into you, I might drown
Tu eres como el agua
You know me, an invisible line connects us in time
And now there is no distance between us
You see what I feel
And all I am feeling is you
Like water, how could I do without you?
My body heat will not cool down
Like water, I could not live without you
I want to dive so deep into you, I might drown
Tu eres como el agua
No se que haria sin ti mi amor
Yo no pudiera vivir sin ti
Quiero ahogarme en ti why nunca
Regresar
Como el agua me ves tan clara
Siempre puedes tu llegar a mi
Tu amor me da razon para vivir
Like water, how could I do without you?
My body heat will not cool down
Like water, I could not live without you
I want to dive so deep into you, I might drown
Like water
Like water
Like water
Nana nana na
Like water
Like water
Dive so deep into you, I might drown
Like water
