Goldfrapp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One more night and then I'm gone
It seems so crazy how
That we just only met but I know
I am your visitor
I'm on the other side of your world
My whole world in light
My whole world in light
Head first in love
Thunder, lightning and rain
Imagine you're lying here again
Trying to get me out of here
Trying to get me back to you
You were always on the land
I was always in the air
My whole world in light
My whole world in light
My whole world in light
Head first in love
It seems so crazy how
That we just only met but I know
I am your visitor
I'm on the other side of your world
My whole world in light
My whole world in light
My whole world in light
Head first in love
