Chris August Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crazy, cause you're all I'm after.
It's a pleasure, It was nice to have met you.
And I'll remember
To never for get you.
Cause when I'm excited,
I don't hide it, just to let you know
How could I not stop to say hello
So hello there,
How are you amazing
It's nice to finally meet you,
Been patiently waiting,
Been waiting just to see you,
To tell you I dreamed you,
Now I found you so call off the search
Cause I found my stranger.
Stranger, till they call your name
It's amazing, it's a simple thing.
I see you walking, don't you walk too far.
I may be neverous but I wanna be where you are.
Cause when I'm excited,
I don't hide it, just to let you know
I'm feeling you baby from bottom to the top,
How could I not stop to say hello
So hello there,
How are you amazing,
It's nice to finally meet you,
Been patiently waiting,
Been waiting just to see you,
To tell you I dreamed you,
Now I found you so call off the search
Cause I found my...
Strangest thing that I ever did feel,
I had to make you smile just to prove it's real,
It was the lack of starving attention?
So if you're feeling the symptoms today
All you gotta do is say...
Hello there,
How are you amazing
It's nice to finally meet you,
Been patiently waiting,
Been waiting just to see you,
To tell you I dreamed you,
Now I found you so call off that search
Cause I found my stranger.
Cause I found my stranger
