now
Claude Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember when i said
It didnt have a chance
Well now i'm slipping under
Your messin up my plans
I thought it was a game
I had the upper hand
Had to steal my thunder
Im falling for you fast

So here i am
My feet are off the ground
My head is in the clouds
You got me where you want me
Im in love with you now
Theres nothing left to say
No way to fight this now
You got me where you want me
Im in love with you now

It kills me now to think
I used to have control
But now you hold the strings
Im in your puppet show
Is this the real damn thing
Is this what loves about
Im starting to like this
My guard is so let down

So here i am

My feeet are ofd the ground
My head is in the clouds
You got me where you want me
Im in love with you now
Theres nothing left to say
No way to fight this now
You got me where you want me
Im in love with you now

I tried to fight it off so long
But i failed
I tried to hold my breath
But i guess i exhaled
I tried to stop my self falling in love
But it wasnt enough

So here i am
My feeet are ofd the ground
My head is in the clouds
You got me where you want me
Im in love with you now
Theres nothing left to say
No way to fight this now




You got me where you want me
Im in love with you now
