I Do
Adrianne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some days I walk
And some days I run
Most days I feel
Like I might be the only one

'Cause we've all got our plans
Make them the best we can
But that kind of control
Is all we get to understand

And I reach for you, baby
You know I do

I get tired of using big words
Desperate to be seen
Well I just want to breathe
And make that mean everything

'Cause when I'm slipping in doubt and in fear
Remind me I'm still here
That my heart is connected
In ways you won't let disappear

When I reach for you, baby
You know I do
Yeah, I reach for you, baby
You know I do, I do, I do

Oooh, mmmmm
Oooh, mmmmm
Mmmhmmm

Well, in a world of hellos and goodbyes
Fast trains and wandering eyes
Some days I will run
Today you will get in the sun

When I reach for you, baby
You know I do
Yeah, I reach for you, baby
You know I do

Yeah, I reach for you, baby
You know I do, I do, I do





I do
