Searching
Change Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hit the town in the cold of the night
Looking round for the
Warmth of the light
There was fog all around
So I guess no one saw me arriving

I was tired and awake for some time
Then my lights hit a welcoming sign
It said if you're alone
You can make this your home
If you want to
Owwww

Searchin, searchin (for so long)
Searchin (searchin)
Searchin, searchin (i
Just wanted to dance)
Searchin

Stepped outta the night
It was brighter inside
Someone come and asked me my name
Taken back by surprise
What I saw with my eyes
A girl in a love's disguise

[Chorus]
She said stop! stop! stop!
Get out your heart
Haven't got a lot
But play the part
Mister stop! stop! stop!
Get out your heart
What I've got's hot stuff
The night is ours

Coffee glass that had
Fell from my hand
Like a child couldn't
Quite understand
What was I doin' there
Far away from nowhere
On my own

I was tired and awake for some time
Just the light playing
Tricks with my mind
Was she there in a crowd
Was the music too loud
Was I dreaming

Searchin, searchin (for so long)
Searchin (i don't want
Romance I just want my
Chance searchin)
Searchin, searchin (yeah)
Searchin

Just came by here by chance
Only wanted to dance,
No news, no her, no, no, no one
Taken back by surprise
What's in front of my eyes
This girl in a love's disguise





[Chorus]

@todwilliams1249

All of them no one type of music! Dumb music!! They don't know great music or singers!!

@MrHalandojones

Cuz they have no souls an do not truly understand what real music is about... May the music gods have mercy on their souls. This is true music personified.. that man man's voice was blessed by the Gods themselves. We didn't truly understand what an honor and privilege it was to be raised in this Era. Truly iconic and that's to small of a word 👏🥰❤ they listening to some good music in heaven right now..
