I'm Ready
John Legend Camper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When autumn starts to fall
When the sun sets early
When nights are getting long
And I hear our favorite song
Playing each memory
I'm tryna fall asleep
You, you've been out of reach
All the letters I send keep coming back to me
I'm ready, I'm ready
If you want me, come get me
I'm ready, so ready
If you want me
Please reach across the sky
Take the early morning flight
I haven't moved since you've gone
Hope you still remember how
To get back in my house
Hope it ain't been too long
Oh, I'm tryna fall asleep
Just to see if you'll keep me company in my dreams
Oh, if you find a way to me
I can find some ways to make you never, ever leave
I'm ready, I'm ready (I'm so ready)
If you want me, come get me (come and get me)
I'm ready, so ready (I'm so ready)
If you want me (come and get me)
Ooh
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
Ooh
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
I'm ready, I'm ready (I'm so ready)
If you want me, come get me (come and get me)
I'm ready, so ready (I'm so ready)
If you want me (come and get me)
Ooh, ooh, baby
You know where I'm at, baby
What do I have to do?
Ooh
Oh, you know where I am
Baby, come on over now
Come on, ooh, come on
