Under Your Spell
Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember the days that used to be
When we still were we
Just you and me
Now you live on your own
And so do I
Our bonds was so strong
I can't see why
Was it something I said
Was it something I did
Was it something I
Never had (money)
But whatever you do
Please give me one more try

If I love you or not
I'm not really sure
The time will tell
But I miss you like I've never done before
I'm under your spell

Now my only way of staying alive
Is by waiting everyday
For you to pass by
Was it my fault
Is that true
I will change to be with you

Was it something I said
Was it something I did
Was it something I
Never had (passion)
But whatever you do
Please give me one more try

If I love you or not
I'm not really sure
The time will tell
But I miss you like I've never done before
I'm under your spell

There's one thing I still can not see
Yes I know it's too late for me
But I want you to tell me why
Or give me one more try

If I love you or not
I'm not really sure
The time will tell
But I miss you like I've never done before
I'm under your spell

If I love you or not
I'm not really sure
The time will tell




But I miss you like I've never done before
I'm under your spell

Jag kan inte sluta att älska denna låt..

Sergio Frias

love this music :)

Aron Schuurman

Jaa.. denna åkte på samma sak som Autolove åkte på 2004 Okänd artist och häftig icke-rörande låt. Marie Lindberg lyckades hela vägen till finalen 2007. Varför? Jo den låten hade något Sverige (och jag) älskade Men denna låt är så otroligt bra att ja nästan inte kan fatta slutet för den. Den är såå bra att jag nästan inte kan sluta lyssna. Jag bara älskar den. Refrängen har en sån power. Denna var precis som Autolove värd en final plats, topp 5 helt klart.
