I See You
IAMWE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How did I miss the point,
Open up and let myself, fall,
Somehow I'm still afraid, even though you're what I want.
Cause your touch is so soft on my armor babe,
and your lips, when we kiss, I can't breath.
You're the perfect distraction from bitterness.
Help me heal from what's broken within.
You, you're hiding in the shadows,

Always standing just in view
And it's true,

I'm lost in the crowds babe.
All my eyes can see is you. I see you
I see you, I see you, I see you.
You see through empty flaws.
A healer tending to a heart, patient and gentle love
even when I'm pushing hard.

'Cause your touch is so soft on my armour babe
And your lips, when we kiss, I can't breath.
You're the perfect distraction from bitterness.
Help me heal from what's broken within.
You, you're hiding in the shadows,
Always standing just in view,
and it's true, I'm lost in the crowds babe.
All my eyes can see is you.
Oh it's you,
hiding in the shadows always standing just in view
And it's true,
Lost in the crowds babe,
all my eyes can see is you
I see you
I see you
I see you
I see you
Oh don't let this go now
I don't wanna let you down
Oh yeah I'm so in love babe, I don't wanna let you down
And don't, don't let this go now
I don't wanna let you down
Oh I'm so in love babe, I don't wanna let you down
You hiding in the shadows always standing just in view
It's true
I'm lost in the crowd
All my eyes can see is you
Hiding in the shadows always standing just in view
And it's true I'm lost in the crowds
But all my eyes can see is you
Darling it's you
Hiding in the shadows always standing just in view
But it's true
I'm lost in the crowds
But all my eyes can see is you,
I see you
I see you

I see you
I see you
