Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never been one for surrender
I never been someone who let in someone close
I dont know, I dont know
I dont know what Im doin here
Dont know why we are good together
Just said I love you and i meant it
What the hell
I dont know, I dont know
I dont know how I got here

If I could oh
I would give you all the air in my lungs
I would give you every word on my tongue
To make you feel love, to make you feel love
If I could oh
I would take away the heartache you had
I would turn it into something that can
Make you feel love, make you feel love
If I Could

I'll hang a white flag on the ceiling
Please let me know if you can see it where you are
I dont know, I dont know
I dont know but we dont have to
Dont need the answer to the question
Just need to have the right intentions
Baby, I just wanna let you know
Let you know if I

If I could oh
I would give you all the air in my lungs
I would give you every word on my tongue
To make you feel love, to make you feel love
If I could oh
I would take away the heartache you had
I would turn it into something that can
Make you feel love, make you feel love
If I Could

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ooh woah
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ooh woah

If I could, Let me be the one you never forget
Let me be the heart inside of your chest

If I could oh
I would give you all the air in my lungs
I would give you every word on my tongue
To make you feel love, to make you feel love
If I could oh
I would take away the heartache you had
I would turn it into something that can




Make you feel love, make you feel love
If I Could
