Heatwave
Akon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think about you every day
Try so hard to live without
But no, no mas
Sun shine is shining far away
Birds eyes just looking out
And they can see that you're, you're mine
Like plunging inside of that fire I cannot contain
Our love is a heatwave
It's burning through the evening rain
Sets sail out on an ocean wave
'Cause our love is like a heatwave
'Cause our love is like a heatwave
I never will walk away
Unless you're right by my side
Burn gas in the Chevrolet
She's so hot
And our connection's like Wi-Fi
Just love how you ricochet
Won't stop 'til you're satisfied
'Cause when we're together, your love is controlling my brain
Like plunging inside of that fire I cannot contain
Our love is a heatwave
It's burning through the evening rain
Sets sail out on an ocean wave
'Cause our love is like a heatwave, heatwave, heatwave, heatwave
'Cause our love is like a heatwave
Strong current won't stop you
Just makes me want you more
Couldn't leave if I want to
I wash up at your door
I know at times, we break the rules
Temperatures rise when I'm with you
Our love is a heatwave
It's burning through the evening rain
Sets sail out on an ocean wave
'Cause our love is like a heatwave, heatwave, heatwave, heatwave
'Cause our love is like a heatwave

Try so hard to get away
I make an effort to distance myself from you
Think about you every day
I can't get you out of my mind
Try so hard to live without
I attempt to live my life without you
But no, no mas
But it's no use
Sun shine is shining far away
The sun is out somewhere else
Birds eyes just looking out
Birds are watching over us
And they can see that you're, you're mine
And they can see that we belong together
'Cause when we're together, your love is controlling my brain
When we're together, I'm consumed by your love
Like plunging inside of that fire I cannot contain
Like diving into a fire that I can't resist
Our love is a heatwave
Our love is intense and passionate
It's burning through the evening rain
It's so powerful that it can overcome any obstacle
Sets sail out on an ocean wave
It's strong enough to take us on a journey
'Cause our love is like a heatwave
Our love is like a raging fire that can't be contained
I never will walk away
I will always stay by your side
Unless you're right by my side
As long as you're with me
Burn gas in the Chevrolet
We go on rides together
She's so hot
You're so attractive
And our connection's like Wi-Fi
Our love is strong and reliable
Just love how you ricochet
I love how you bounce off of me
Won't stop 'til you're satisfied
I won't give up until you're happy
Strong current won't stop you
Obstacles won't deter you
Just makes me want you more
It just intensifies my desire for you
Couldn't leave if I want to
I couldn't leave you even if I tried
I wash up at your door
I always end up coming back to you
I know at times, we break the rules
I understand that our relationship is unconventional
Temperatures rise when I'm with you
My passion for you increases when we're together
