Tailor Made
Colbie Caillat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's hard to let go of the past, but it seems easier as time is movin'
Well, you said he makes you laugh and he makes you happy
He sees you smilin' back; it is everlasting
And so he's tailor made for you
With stunning golds and hues
And once we told us to
And I'm seeing you everyday
Never been like this before
It's tailor made (tailor, tailor made)
So let go all of the mixed emotions
Forget all your hesitations
Together entwined inside this feeling
Your feet off the ground, headed ceilin'
But then he whispered in your ear
He's absolutely fallen
The words he said are clear
Don't insist on stallin'
Because he's tailor made for you
With stunning golds and hues
And once we told us to
Your persistent beating heart; it's just a start
And I'm seeing you everyday
We've never been like this before
Tailor made
Whoa, sister, don't be troubled
Whoa, sister, please, be kind
'Cause this isn't what you're used to at all
He's tailor made for you
With stunning golds and hues
And once we told us to
Your persistent beating heart; it's just a start
And I'm seeing you everyday
We've never been like this before
It's tailor made (tailor, tailor made)
Ooo
