Make You Mine
Benny Tipene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd make you smile
With all my foolish ways
Like light to dark
Would make a start
If only you'd notice me
'Cause there's a thousand ways
That I could try to say
I will make you mine
And if it's not today
I'm gonna keep on trying
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna make you mine
We could lie
On a field of grass
And watch the birds fly by
If only you'd come talk to me
I'd show you that it all was right
'Cause there's a thousand ways
And a thousand times
That I could try to say
I will make you mine
And if it's not today
I'm gonna keep on trying
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna make you mine
We could live in love entranced
If only you'd consider rhymes
'Cause there's a world out there for us to see and love
You will believe
'Cause there's a thousand ways
And a thousand times
That I could try to say
I will make you mine
And if it's not today
I'm gonna keep on trying
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna make you mine
Cause there's a thousand ways
And a thousand times
That I could try to say
I will make you mine
And if it's not today
I'm gonna keep on trying
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine

I voted for him on X-facter and cried when he didn't win. I also went to Xmas in the park just to hear him perform!

So chillax, so summery, so kiwi. Love this for many reasons! For one, Benny's amazing and original. Secondly, the music video looks classic, its effects and the way it's on the road or on the water, around nature. That's flipping awesome! If I ever miss the heart of home, known as New Zealand, this is one of the things I'll be looking back to. And lastly the song. The feels. Need I say more?
