Better
Hot Shade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to stay
But I tell you to go
I know that I need you
But you'll never know

It may be too obvius
But can't you see
You take me to places
I don't wanna leave

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh

When it hits me in slow motion
Then it's right where I belong
It runs deeper than an ocean
Now we've only just begun

When I'm underneath the surface
Will you ever let me go?
This could be better
Stronger, deeper than

And when I turn on the lights
Will I still be me
Thinking and dreaming
Of what it could be

Losing myself on the breath in between
The minute you stay and the second you leave

When it hits me in slow motion
Then it's right where I belong
It runs deeper than an ocean
Now we've only just begun

When I'm underneath the surface
Will you ever let me go?
This could be better
Stronger, deeper than

This could be better, stronger, deeper than I know

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, this could be better, stronger, deeper than

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, this could be better, stronger, deeper than I know

When it hits me in slow motion
Then it's right where I belong
It runs deeper than an ocean
Now we've only just begun

When I'm underneath the surface
Will you ever let me go?
This could be better
Stronger, deeper than





This could be better, stronger, deeper than I know

Lyrics:

I want you to stay
but I tell you to go
I know that I need you
but you'll never know

It may be too obvious
but you can't see
You take me to places

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh

When it hits me in slow motion
Then it's right where I belong
It runs deeper than an ocean
Now we've only just begun

When I'm underneath the surface
Will you ever let me go?
This could be better,
stronger, deeper than

And when I turn on the lights
?????
Thinking and dreaming
of what it could be

Losing myself on
the breath inbetween
The minute you stay
and the second you leave

When it hits me in slow motion
Then it's right where I belong
It runs deeper than an ocean
Now we've only just begun

When I'm underneath the surface
Will you ever let me go?
This could be better,
stronger, deeper than

This could be better, stronger,
deeper than I know

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, this could
be better, stronger, deeper than

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, this could be
better, stronger, deeper than I know

When it hits me in slow motion
Then it's right where I belong
It runs deeper than an ocean
Now we've only just begun

When I'm underneath the surface
Will you ever let me go?
This could be better,
stronger, deeper than I know

This could be better, stronger,
deeper than I know
