Hannah Trigwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too scared to doubt
Let it fall by the wayside
With just one touch, you've got me falling
Give me headrush, you are the one that will break me,
But you are the one who could save me
and I'll fold
Let it fall by the wayside
Let it fall by the wayside
With just one touch, you've got me falling
Give me headrush, you are the one that will break me,
But you are the one who could save me
Hit with just one look, you've got me falling
It's all too much, you'll be the one that will break me
But you are the one who could save me
You are the one
(With just one touch)

You are the one
With just one touch, you've got me falling
Give me headrush, you are the one that will break me,
But you are the one who could save me
Hit with just one look, you've got me falling
It's all too much, you'll be the one that will break me
But you are the one who could save me
With just one touch, you've got me falling
Give me headrush, you are the one that will break me
But you are the one who could save me
You are the one
