Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
harder than most, haven't known you long
but I know there's somethin' there…
scared to embrace it
see I've been broken down hearted
kicked to the curb before love started
but you make, me want to try…
take my fear and face it
it might take some time, but boy i'm tryin'
to let you in, be prince charmin'
and…
it might be long
before I fall in love again
I must protect my heart from breakin'
but you make me want to open up
give my heart fall in love
one more time
Yes it's true you set me free
With each and every melody
You don't even have to try
Yeah, you're the king of R&B
I'm a little more Indie
But together you know we'd be…
Perfect harmony
Never thought there was one like you
pure at heart, eyes so blue
and yes you took… my breath away…
have to admit it
never found someone like me
good with words, lyrically
but just as scared to open up their soul…
see love and chase it
SubYes, I know
It'll take some time but there's no denying
that you would make the perfect prince charmin'
and it might be long
Before I fall in love again
But with you I feel as though I can
'cuz you make me want to open up
give my heart fall in love
one more time
Yes it's true you set me free
With each and every melody
You don't even have to try
Yeah, you're the king of R&B
I'm a little more Indie
But together you know we'd be…
Perfect harmony
and when I see your face
I smile yea It just hits me
my heart races, gets all jittery
And that first time we kissed
I could feel it takin' over me
mendin' my heart, yeah… slowly
but… you make me want to open up
give my heart fall in love
one more time
Yes it's true you set me free
With each and every melody
You don't even have to try
Yeah, you're the king of R&B
I'm a little more Indie
But together you know we'd be…
Perfect harmony
yeah, oh…
la da da, yeah, la da da da da da da
ohh yeah
perfect harmony, yeah yeah
