When I'm With You
George Nascimento Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taking My Time
I'm Trying To Leave The Memories Of You Behind
I'm Gonna Be Fine
As Soon As I Get Your Picture Right Out Of My Mind
I Wanna Feel The Way You Make Me Feel When I'm With You
I Wanna Be The Only Hand, You Need To Hold On To
But Everytime I Call You Don't Have Time
I Guess I'll Never Get To Call You Mine
For Nothing At All, I Know Theres A Million Reasons
Why I Shouldn't Call
With Nothing To Say, Could Easily Make This
Conversation Last All Day
Another Lesson I Didn't Get To Learn
Your My Obsession




I've Got Nowhere To Turn
[Chorus (Repeat 2x)
