Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step, step come closer to me
Step, step come make the most of me

Pull me in like the tide
God knows, he knows I tried
To get you out of my head
I'd rather love you instead
Drowning in dreams of you
Wake up but there's no you
Can't get you outta my head
I rather love you instead

I need somebody while you're gone
With a voice like you and a face like you

I need somebody while you're gone
Somebody just like you, just like you
I need somebody while you're gone
Somebody just like you, just like you

Pull me in like the tide
God knows, he knows I tried
To get you out of my head
I'd rather love you instead
Drowning in dreams of you
Wake up but there's no you
Can't get you outta my head
I rather love you instead

I need somebody while you're gone
With a voice like you and a face like you

I need somebody while you're gone
Somebody just like you, just like you

Step, step come closer to me
Step, step come make the most of me
Step, step come closer to me
Step, step come make the most of me
Step, step come closer to me
Step, step come make the most of me
Pull me in like the tide
God knows, he knows I tried




To get you out of my head
I'd rather love you in-

LYRICS:

Something must've gone wrong in my brain
Got your chemicals all in my veins
Feeling all the highs, feeling all the pain

Let go on the wheel, it's the bullet lane
Now I'm seeing red, not thinking straight
Blurring all the lines, you intoxicate me

Just like nicotine, heroin, morphine
Suddenly, I'm a fiend and you're all I need
All I need
Yeah, you're all I need

It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same

It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never, ever, ever be the same

I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

Sneaking in L.A. when the lights are low
Off of one touch, I could overdose
You said, "Stop playing it safe, girl"
"I wanna see you lose control"

Just like nicotine, heroin, morphine
Suddenly, I'm a fiend and you're all I need
All I need
Yeah, you're all I need

It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same

It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never, ever, ever be the same

I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

You're in my blood
You're in my veins
You're in my head (I blame)
You're in my blood
You're in my veins
You're in my head (I'm sayin')

I'm saying it's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame (You're to blame)
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same

It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never, ever, ever be the same
