Gypsy Heart
Colbie Caillat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come with me, I'll take you far away
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
Come with me
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
It's a sunny day, on the golden coast
I'm a dream away, and I'm good to go
Got a zepplin' groove, on the stereo
And the song that is on, is the sound of my soul
I'm a gypsy heart, we were backed upon
Anywhere we are, is where we belong
But you're far away, and it's been too long
So I go where I'm going, I never know
But
I can't wait, to get back out on the road
Counting every mile, 'til I get where I'm going
I don't even care, if it's fast or it's slow
As long as it's taking me to ya
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
As long as it's takin' me to, ya
So I take a breath, and I close my eyes
Now I see your face, and I start to smile
I'm a singing bird, in an open sky
So I fly and I fly, 'til I get real high
Oh
I can't wait to get back out on the road
Counting every mile, 'til I get where I'm going
I don't even care, if it's fast or it's slow
As long as it's taking me to ya
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
As long as it's takin' me to ya
If I'm in your arms, I can dream all day
If there's clouds in the sky, we can wish them away
'Cause I need you right now, and I don't wanna wait
So I walk 'til I run, and I run 'til I fly
'Cause
I can't wait to get back out on the road
I'm counting every mile, 'til I get where I'm going
I don't even care, if it's fast or it's slow
As long as it's taking me to ya
Oh I can't wait to get back, out on the road
I'm counting every mile, 'til I get where I'm going
I don't even care, if it's fast or it's slow
As long as it's taking me to ya
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
I'm a gypsy heart
As long as it's taking me to ya
As long as it's taking me to ya
As long as it's taking me to ya

Come with me, I'll take you far away
Join me on an adventure away from our current reality
I'm a gypsy heart
I have a free-spirited and wandering nature
Co-om-me with me
Come with me and experience the same sense of freedom
It's a sunny day, on the golden coast
The weather is beautiful on the picturesque coast
I'm a dream away, and I'm good to go
I just need to indulge in my fantasies and I'll be ready to embark on this journey
Got a zepplin' groove, on the stereo
Listening to energetic music to set the mood
And the song that is on, is the sound of my soul
The current song resonates deeply with my inner being
I'm a gypsy heart, we were backed upon
My adventurous spirit and I were misunderstood and underestimated
Anywhere we are, is where we belong
I feel at home no matter where I am
But you're far away, and it's been too long
However, you are distant, and I miss you immensely
So I go where I'm going, I never know
I embrace uncertainty and let fate guide my journey
But I can't wait, to get back out on the road
I am eager to hit the road and continue exploring
Counting every mile, 'til I get where I'm going
I meticulously track the distance until I reach my destination
I don't even care, if it's fast or it's slow
The speed of my journey doesn't matter to me
As long as it's taking me to ya
What matters is that I am getting closer to you
So I take a breath, and I close my eyes
I pause to gather my thoughts and find peace within
Now I see your face, and I start to smile
Thinking of you brings me joy and happiness
I'm a singing bird, in an open sky
I am free and expressive, just like a bird in the sky
So I fly and I fly, 'til I get real high
I soar to great heights, both physically and emotionally
If I'm in your arms, I can dream all day
When I am with you, I am filled with endless dreams and possibilities
If there's clouds in the sky, we can wish them away
Together, we can overcome any obstacles or challenges
Cause I need you right now, and I don't wanna wait
I long for your presence and the wait is unbearable
So I walk 'til I run, and I run 'til I fly
I am determined to keep moving forward, even if it means pushing myself to the limit
As long as it's taking me to ya
I will continue on this journey as long as it brings me closer to you
