Mesmerized
Courtnie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can′t stay away
Usually I'm numb but you ignite my nerves
Not with what you say
But something in your touch makes me know I′m yours
Sucked into your space
No control could this be something I like
Can't even think straight
Incoherent you got me so high

You got me
You got me
Mesmerized
Mesmerized
Feel my eyes
Glued to what you do
Hypnotized
Hypnotized
Spending time
Discovering you

I just crave your taste
Starved when I'm not eating from the palm of your hand
You′re that drug that′s laced
Your energy takes me to another land
I like when you watch me
Wanna make you feel the way that I feel
I love when you touch me
Let's me know a dream can turn out real

You got me
You got me
Mesmerized
Mesmerized
Feel my eyes
Glued to what you do
Hypnotized
Hypnotized
Spending time
Discovering you

Sing my sorrows softly in my ear
Say tomorrow that you′ll still be here

Contain me
Show me you have no fear

Right now you got me headed for the brink

Hypnotized I fall for you and sink
Hypnotized I fall for you and sink
