Cloud 9
Jonah White Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting for it, waiting such a long time
Up in heaven baby, floating ‘bove the city lights
Got that something, when we touching, heart on overdrive
I be rolling, like an engine, up on cloud nine
That September after summer’s when you walked in
Saw you standing in the corner, I was dancing
Came right over, moved in closer, took my hand and then
Sent me spinning through the night and now I’m falling

And when you're looking at me
My feet don’t touch the ground
Hands all over my body
And I can hear the sound
That thumping in your chassis
You know you take me there
The flavour's sweet like candy
I’m shaking everywhere
I've been waiting for it, waiting such a long time
Up in heaven baby, floating ‘bove the city lights
Got that something, when we touching, heart on overdrive
I be rolling, like an engine, up on cloud nine
Baby this is something different, never felt this
Kinda scared, yeah I’ll admit it but I’m into it
Can’t control, we going under, ‘bout to hit a six
Off the planet, out of bounds, you know we got this
And when you're looking at me
My feet don’t touch the ground
Hands all over my body
And I can hear the sound
That thumping in your chassis
You know you take me there
The flavour's sweet like candy
I’m shaking everywhere
I've been waiting for it, waiting such a long time
Up in heaven baby, floating ‘bove the city lights
Got that something, when we touching, heart on overdrive
I be rolling, like an engine, up on cloud nine
I've been waiting for it, waiting such a long time
Up in heaven baby, floating ‘bove the city lights

Got that something, when we touching, heart on overdrive
I be rolling, like an engine, up on cloud nine
