Honestly
Fighting Gravity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to hold the feeling that I felt inside
I think your smile will set my mind free
So why don't you and I just go out for a ride
I honestly think that I could love you
I honestly think that I could care
Sittin' on the old park bench just talkin'
It was the first time that I ever kissed your lips
I found your show, I put it on, it fits
I will take upon your fears
Dry up all your tears
I will laugh with you all day
Forget your job, lets go out and play
I saw you walkin' down the street
Your face was shining
A funny feeling from my head down to my feet
I felt like I was flying
Now the days go by so much faster
No harsh words, a game we'll try to master
A living soul that takes me far above
Living a life that lives for love
