Warm Water
Banks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking you over
And you don't know my name yet
But by the time you looked away
Already knew I couldn't fake it

I got this need for you
Forming in my beating heart
I knew the meaning right away
We only yesterday, were worlds apart

I think I may love you
If you give me some time,
Maybe you'll love me too

I got this thing for you
If you come closer I can whisper in your ear
And if you wanna walk away
I'll tell you all the things I know you wanna hear.

I'll come closer
To you if you
Come over
I know we'll go farther
Farther with you
With you I'm in warm water swimming down.

I think I may love you, if you give me some time,
Maybe you'll love me too

I'll come closer
To you if you
Come over
I know we'll go farther
Farther with you
With you I'm in warm water swimming down.

I'll come closer
To you if you
Come over
I know we'll go farther
Farther with you
With you I'm in warm water swimming down.

The original is great, and this is the type of remix that is exactly what every remix should strive for. Completely re-imagines the song and gives it a completely different vibrance.
