Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I may be so bold that I could say something
Come and make me my day
The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing
I can chase them all away
Why do you need a reason for to feel happy
Or shining for the rest of the world
Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy
Get your shit together girl
You got a feeling lost inside
It just won't let you go
Life is sneaking up behind
It just won't let you go
No it just won't let you go
Is what I'm trying to say
Is would you maybe, come dancing with me
'Cause to me it doesn't matter
If your hopes and dreams are shattered
'Cause when you say something you make me believe
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
Knows exactly what she's worth to me!
That I can see, I can see
If you ever find yourself inside a bubble
You've gotta make your own way home




You can call me anytime you're seeing double
Now you know you're not alone

Line by Line Meaning

If I may be so bold that I could say something
If I can be so daring as to speak up


Come and make me my day
Come and improve my mood


The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing
Your sorrow and suffering is not without reason


I can chase them all away
I can help you overcome your troubles


Why do you need a reason for to feel happy
Why do you require a cause to be joyful


Or shining for the rest of the world
Or to show off to everyone else


Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy
Simply smile at me and quickly


Get your shit together girl
Collect yourself, woman


You got a feeling lost inside
You have a sensation of being lost within you


It just won't let you go
It's not allowing you to move on


Life is sneaking up behind
Time is creeping up on you


No it just won't let you go
No, it's not allowing you to move on


Is what I'm trying to say
That's what I'm attempting to express


Is would you maybe, come dancing with me
Maybe you would like to come dance with me


'Cause to me it doesn't matter
Because, to me, it's not important


If your hopes and dreams are shattered
If your aspirations are broken


'Cause when you say something you make me believe
Because when you speak, you make me have faith


In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
In the woman who dresses uncleanly


She knows exactly what she's worth
She knows precisely her value


Knows exactly what she's worth to me!
Knows exactly her value to me!


That I can see, I can see
That I can perceive, I can perceive


If you ever find yourself inside a bubble
If you ever feel isolated


You've gotta make your own way home
You have to find your own path back


You can call me anytime you're seeing double
You can contact me whenever you're confused


Now you know you're not alone
Now you understand that you're not by yourself
