Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let me go
Be the one and only
Take all control
Stay with me forever
At least for the night
Even when you leave me
You are my desire, oh
And just the thought of you is keeping me awake
You take me higher, oh
Take me away
You are my desire, oh
And just the thought of you is keeping me awake
You take me higher, oh
Take me away
Take me away
Promise you won't wake me
Before you leave
Leave me in a daydream
Just you and me
Stay with me forever
At least for the night (the night)
Even when you leave me
Lead me to the light
You are my desire, oh
And just the thought of you is keeping me awake
You take me higher, oh
Take me away
You are my desire, oh
And just the thought of you is keeping me awake
You take me higher, oh
Take me away
Take me away
