Joel Corry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum

Oh my God, oh my God
This feeling's just begun
I'm saying things I've never said
Doing things I've never done
Oh my God, oh my God
When I see you I should run
But I'm frozen in motion
And my head tells me to stop
Tells me to stop

Feeling feelings I feel about us
Try to fight it but it's never enough

My heart is certain
It's more than a crush
'Cause I'm frozen in motion
And my head tells me to stop

But my heart goes
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
'Cause my heart goes
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum

Oh my God, oh my God
Can't believe what I've become
I'm thinking things I shouldn't think
Singing songs I've never sung

Oh my God, oh my God
When I see you I should run
But I'm frozen in motion
And my head tells me to stop
Tells me to stop

Feeling feelings I feel about us
Try to fight it but it's never enough

('Cause my heart)
My heart is certain
It's more than a crush
'Cause I'm frozen in motion
And my head tells me to stop

But my heart goes
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
'Cause my heart goes
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum

But my heart goes
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
'Cause my heart goes
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum

My head and my heart
My head and my heart
I can't tell them apart
My head tells me to run
But I can't

'Cause my heart goes
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
'Cause my heart goes
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum

Oh my God, oh my God
This feeling's just begun
I'm saying things I've never said
Doing things I've never done

Oh my God, oh my God
When I see you I should run
But I'm frozen in motion
And my head tells me to stop





But my heart goes
