Love Attraction
Gayle Adams Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy caminando en silencio
Por donde solía ir contigo
Estoy pensando ¿eres como yo?
Llega la noche y en mi corazón crece el frio...
¿No se si te sientes igual?
De repente vino a mi una sensación extraña
Cuidaste de mi,
Estabas a mi lado

Nuestros corazones estaban acercándose
No sabría como describir esa emoción
Debido a que viniste a mi
Con esas palabras y agarraste mi mano nerviosa
Porque yo era torpe
Pero me trataste cálidamente
Solo me abrazaste, era ingenua
Todo era nuevo para mi
Las gotas estaban cayendo
Casi llenando todo
Y lleno todo completamente
No tenia nada en mi corazón, pero lo llenaste
Cuando te vi, corrí a ti
Me abrazaste
Eras parecido a mi
Mi corazón se reconfortaba cuando estabas para mi
Cuando tu sonríes, yo puedo sonreír
El camino a ti fue emocionante
En el camino de regreso, estoy vacía y sola
Quiero verte de nuevo
Por un largo tiempo
Quiero abrazar incluso tu sombra
Quiero rodearte con mis brazos
Quiero abrazarte
Quiero abrazarte
"No se que nos deparará el futuro, pero si lo tengo a el ¿no seré más feliz?"...

De repente viniste a mi... me pides comer contigo
Eras extraño... así me fui enamorando de ti.

Overall Meaning

The song "Love Attraction" by Gayle Adams is a beautiful depiction of the complex nature of love and the powerful emotions it can evoke. The lyrics describe the journey of a person who is walking alone, reminiscing about their past with a loved one who is no longer around. The singer wonders if the person they are thinking of feels the same way as they do, and they are filled with a sense of emptiness and coldness in their heart as the night sets in. However, suddenly, they feel a strange sensation - a feeling of warmth and comfort - as memories of their past resurface, and they begin to see things in a new light.

The second half of the song is a beautiful description of the intense emotions that come with falling in love. The singer remembers the moment when their love interest came into their life, and how their love transformed them completely. They describe feeling ingenuous and unsure, but being treated warmly and feeling safe in the arms of their lover. The song is a beautiful expression of how love can fill the emptiness in our hearts and make us feel whole again.
