Maria Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And did you know that look that I threw at you
And did you know my love will never die
And did you know I can't do this without laughing
And did you know no matter where it takes us now
And did you know our love will never die
The pretend season that we filled
With cartoons and forever plans
I've seen it in your eyes
I will be satisfied
And did you know electricity favors us
And did you know I'm not reading into anything
And did you know our love will never die
I will run away, I will run away, I will run
I will run away, I will run away, I will run
Our love will never die
I will be satisfied
And did you know my glass was never empty
And did you know I'm not as fragile as I thought
And did you know my love will never die
Our love will never die
