Brett Dennen & Milow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You fill up my senses like a night in a forest,
Like the mountains in springtime,
Like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert,
Like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
Let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms.

Let me lay down beside you, let me al-ways be with you.
Come, let me love you, come love me again.

You fill up my senses like a night in a forest,
Like the mountains in spring-time,
Like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert,
Like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
Let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms.

Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
Come let me love you, come love me again.
