It Could Be You
Alexis Strum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could I borrow your oxygen?
I want to breathe what you breathe
Could I borrow your eyes then?
I want to see what you see
Could I borrow your mind?
I wanna know what you conceal
Could I borrow your heart?
I wanna know what you feel
'Cause in my dreams I see a face
Full of love and full of grace
I wake up out of the blue
Something tells me
It could be you
Something tells me
It could be you
Could I touch you now baby
Where you've never been touched before?
Could I surrender to you babe?
I can't fight it no more
If I tell you my story
Would it be safe in your hands?
Could you do something for me
Just try and understand?
'Cause in my dreams I see a face
And the kiss I almost taste
I wake up out of the blue
Something tells me
It could be you
Something tells me
It could be you
The way I feel when you are near
The way I smile when you appear




The way your voice speaks to me inside
I cannot hide
