Medicine
Havelin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I hope you know,
Oh I hope you know,
That I was barely hanging on,
When I first saw you I was pitful,
And I was losing every night.

I asked if you might,
Stay a while,
Oh stay a while,
You said maybe if your voice could,
Make me smile,
Oh make me smile,
And I told ya give me one chance,
I don't deserve you to give me this one chance,
You're my medicine,
You're my medicine.

Oh I hope you know,
I hope you know,
You pulled me up when I was down,
You showed me love when I knew hoplessness,
Breathing slowly softer sounds.

I asked if you might,
Stay a while,
Oh stay a while,
You said maybe if your voice could,
Make me smile,
Oh make me smile,
And I told ya give me one chance,
I don't deserve you to give me this one chance,
You're my medicine,
You're my medicine.

And maybe I hold you,
Maybe I look you in the eyes,
And maybe I give it all to see you smile,
And maybe I hold you,
And maybe I look in the eyes,
And maybe I tell you that I love you tonight.

You're my medicine,
You're my medicine,
you're my medicine (Oh I hope you know)
You're my medicine (Oh I hope you know)




You're my medicine (Oh I hope you know)
You're my medicine.
