Be In Love
Dominic and the Lucid Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am set in motion
I'm under devotion
When you bleed emotion
When you know the motions
Make your heart spin
All I think is implosion
Look what we did
We're alone in an ocean

I feel, I feel
Way too lost, in commotion
I say, I say
Set your soul in emotion
Make your heart spin
Are we ready for love?
When I lose that notion
My whole life in motion

Blood, I bleed emotion
Are we still commotion?
