Give Me Tonight
Dustin Tebbutt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I

It was the night
We'd fallen for so long
Give me the night
To breathe in your body
'Cause I could lay here
Breathe in your eyes
But show me a quiver
Give me tonight

Are you ready for the motion
Swaying, devotion in our wake
Come on and
Be here in this moment
Sacred, I'm saying your name

I'm saying your name
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
I'm saying your name
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I

It's running ahead
Oh, you're afraid
It's taking me in
It takes me away

In hearts that can echo
We finish together again
But show me a quiver
Give me tonight

Are you ready for the motion
Swaying, devotion in our wake
Come on and
Be here in this moment
Sacred, I'm saying your name

I'm saying your name
I'm saying your name
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
I'm saying your name
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I

You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I




You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want
