Dive
Jacq Becker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something inside me says don't stop
I don't feel scared now so don't stop
You can break me down
You know you melt me, you know you melt me
We don't make a sound
That's how tell me, that's how you tell me
Love comes better in jumpin'
Forget about taking it slow

Knocked downs better than motion
Or make it up as we go
Dive, just dive
Dive, just dive
I won't say out loud what we were thinking
What we were thinking
It took the words right out
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely breathing
Love comes better in jumpin'
Forget about taking it slow
Knocked downs better than motion
Or make it up as we go
Dive, just dive
Dive, just dive
Don't want anybody, don't want anybody
Don't want anybody else
Don't want anybody, don't want anybody
Don't want anybody else
Love comes better in jumpin'
Forget about taking it slow
Knocked downs better than motion
Or make it up as we go
Dive, just dive
Dive, just dive
Dive, just dive
Dive, just dive

Something inside me says don't stop
I don't feel scared now so don't stop
