Warned
Brisa Roché Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a boat or in a car
I just cannot forget
How I'm not with you yet
When I'm mixing with stars
I'm aware of where you are
I can talk a pretty storm
When I'm making up rhymes
I pick words I can climb
Just like stairs to your eyes
But all my words sound like sighs
When I'm dreaming at night
I can fly and I can fight
But in my dreams it's you I seek you
And the flower of your cheek
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
When I'm starting a brawl
I jump fast and I might crawl
In the brawls I'd have with you
I'd do something sweeter too
When I'm singing alone
Off the cliffs or on the phone
I sing songs just made for you
And I plan wars just for two
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
When I'm teetering high
Feel your touch upon my thigh
Pull the blankets down please
For baby I am on my knees
Other girls imagine this
To be healed with just a kiss
But I want to heal you too
So let me heal you through and through

When I'm travelling far
When I'm far from you
In a boat or in a car
Whether travelling in a boat or a car
I just cannot forget
I can't forget about you
How I'm not with you yet
How I haven't been able to be with you yet
When I'm mixing with stars
When I'm in the company of famous people
I'm aware of where you are
Even though I'm not with you, I'm still thinking of you
I can talk a pretty storm
I can speak eloquently
But just your smile is oh so warm
But your smile is still more comforting than my words
When I'm making up rhymes
When I'm writing poetry
I pick words I can climb
I choose words that express my admiration for you
Just like stairs to your eyes
Words that lead to your gaze
But all my words sound like sighs
But my words end up sounding like longing instead of expressing my love
When I'm dreaming at night
When I'm sleeping and dreaming
I can fly and I can fight
In my dreams, I have the freedom to fly and have courage
But in my dreams it's you I seek you
But in my dreams, I always look for you
And the flower of your cheek
I see the beauty in you in my dreams
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I know I should stop, but I can't help myself
When I'm starting a brawl
When I'm starting a fight
I jump fast and I might crawl
I'm ready for a physical fight and will do whatever it takes to be with you
In the brawls I'd have with you
If I had fights or arguments with you
I'd do something sweeter too
I would also try to do something kind and loving
When I'm singing alone
When I'm singing by myself
Off the cliffs or on the phone
Whether I'm singing by the cliffs or over the phone
I sing songs just made for you
I sing songs that are dedicated to you
And I plan wars just for two
I imagine us fighting battles together as a team
When I'm teetering high
When I'm on the edge, feeling vulnerable
Feel your touch upon my thigh
I imagine your touch even in my vulnerable moments
Pull the blankets down please
I want your intimacy, your warmth
For baby I am on my knees
I am willing to do whatever it takes to be with you
Other girls imagine this
Other women might imagine just a kiss would be enough
To be healed with just a kiss
To be fully healed just by the power of kisses
But I want to heal you too
But I want to help you heal deeply, beyond just a kiss
So let me heal you through and through
So let me do everything to heal your heart completely
