Emma Louise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been thinking, thinking 'bout you, 'bout us
And we're moving slow, our hearts beat so fast
I've been dreaming, dreaming 'bout you, 'bout us
Hey, hey, hey, hey
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head, oh
I was speaking soft, see the pain in your eyes
I've been feeling, feeling for you, my love
And our bodies are tired, our shadows will dance
I've been aching, aching for you, my love
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head, oh
My love is wasted, sorry for this I never meant to be
Hurting ourselves, hurting ourselves
And I'm complicated, you won't get me, I have trouble
Understanding myself, understanding myself
And my love is wasted, sorry for this I never meant to be
Hurting ourselves, hurting ourselves
And I'm complicated, you won't get me, I have trouble
Understanding myself, understanding myself
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, (my head is a jungle)
Oh, (my head is a jungle)
Oh, (my head is a jungle)
Oh

@nicholasbaker8012
+Jithin Bas Not alone at all, can't believe it took me so long to find this tune, I guess the remix did have it's purpose. I can see why a dance remix is good for clubs... just need to turn this into a drum and bass song and the cycle will be complete

10 years later and i still adore this song. my mom
showed it to me when i was 11 after it had already been out for 5 years and i was in love with it. i still come back to it. when i was younger i thought that this song explained everything. now that i’m older it’s even more louder and makes even more sense in my head.
