Wouldn't It Be Good
Cascada (Natalie Horler) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was a sign
It was the time
To take me away to your arms
I heard your voice you called my name
A single touch
Would stop my pain
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
Grasses always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care
The times passing by
I feel like you
I always do
Youre my place to hide
I don't know why
Still hear your voice
Still feel the same
Single kiss can stop the rain
So close to you in everything i do
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
Grasses always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
