Feelin' Good
Christina Grimmie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before last night
I was down on my luck
There was nothing going my way
Before last night
Wasn't feelin' the love
No reason for a smile on my face

But I was always told
You could turn it around
Do it for the light of day
So get yourself together
Get out of the town
If music gets you feeling okay

Now I'm on a roll
And I'm losing control
'Cause

I got that sunshine
It's like the world is mine
I can't deny I'm feeling good
Can't stop from smiling
I'm bottled lightning
Deep inside I'm feeling good

All my heartbreak
My long and rainy days are gone
And now I can't complain
Everything's all right
I'm feeling so alive
I can't deny I'm feeling good

I was so low on Friday alone
No one even called my phone
I looked in the mirror
And I said to myself
Why am I still sitting at home?

Now I'm on a roll
And I'm losing control
'Cause

I got that sunshine
It's like the world is mine
I can't deny I'm feeling good
Can't stop from smiling
I'm bottled lightning
Deep inside I'm feeling good

All my heartbreak
My long and rainy days are gone
And now I can't complain
Everything's all right
I'm feeling so alive
I can't deny I'm feeling good

I got that sunshine
The world is mine
I'm feeling good
I feel it deep inside
I can't deny I'm feeling good
Everything's all right
I'm so alive
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
Hey

I got that sunshine
It's like the world is mine
I can't deny I'm feeling good
Can't stop from smiling
I'm bottled lightning
Deep inside I'm feeling good

All my heartbreak
My long and rainy days are gone
And now I can't complain
Everything's all right
I'm feeling so alive
I can't deny Oh

I got that sunshine
It's like the world is mine
I can't deny I'm feeling good
Can't stop from smiling
I'm bottled lightning
Deep inside I'm feeling good

All my heartbreak
My long and rainy days are gone
And now I can't complain
Everything's all right




I'm feeling so alive
I can't deny I'm feeling good

Feelin' Good
[Verse 1:]
Before last night,
I was down on my luck
There was nothing going my way
Before last night,

So get yourself together
Get out of the town

@ArturKrupaKrupers

This is the only song I am not crying on - I believe she "got the sunshine", she is "feelin' good" ;(

Can't believe she is not with us anymore... World is so cruel :(

Young, beauty, talented and perfect people are dying - bad are still alive. This is not fair.

You will always be in our mind - forever! As long as we think about you, you will be alive!

Miss you so much Christina ;(

Everyone in the comments are saying 'This song makes me so sad', well I say no...This song still makes me happy regardless of what happened to her, and that was her intention when making this song, to make others happy.

@belatedsoup_

Yeah same

@xIMissYou1609x

I always listen to this song while I drive to work! I blast it and sing loud. That's what Christina would want.

@thomasneighoff7712

imatroll147. I totally agree with you. That is what I've been saying. In one of Christina' s videos, Christina herself said, and I quote exactly what she said, " My goal in my career is to get my music out there, and to have people enjoy it, and to have people think of me as an inspirational artist." That pretty much says it all, doesn't it? She wanted, no matter what, for everyone to listen to her music and be happy, just like you said. Being happy while listening to her music, which she worked very hard to write and produce by the way,is enjoyment. No one can change what happened to her, and that sucks, so we have no choice but to do the best we can with the circumstances being the way they are. I'm with you on that one. I just finished listening to alot of her music, and watching her videos, and enjoying them all. I played my piano right along with many of them, too. Something tells me she would approve of that. Because that's what she made them for. Right?
