Juliana Chahayed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Play it for you on guitar, and
Sing it for you when you're blue
Add some shades of green to match the mood, oh
Tell me something good, I
Love that you're an open book, and
When you talk, I gotta smile
Closer
I could hide what I want
But I'ma show you
It's a shot in the dark
I'll still in for you
Oh, if you're in the mood, why don't you get a little closer?
Closer
I don't wanna rush, but
I'm just trying to be upfront
Sayings things that I'll regret
Yeah, I know cheeks are turning red
Getting closer
I could hide what I want
But I'ma show you
It's a shot in the dark
I'll still in for you
Oh, if you're in the mood, why don't you get a little closer?
Closer
Passing all the stop signs
You're the only green light
You could be my sunrise
After every long night
Passing all stop signs
You're the only green light
You could be my sunrise
After every long night
Closer
I could hide what I want
But I'ma show you
It's a shot in the dark
I'll still in for you
Oh, if you're in the mood, why don't you get a little closer?

Absolutely stunning, I can’t believe how talented you are!
Juliana Chahayed
thank you so much!
MrJagermeister
I love everything about this. Just the sound of your voice makes me stupid lovesick like the first time I ever had a crush, on a summer day, when everything was falling into place. I can’t wait to hear more songs, and I definitely hope there will be an album as well? Please let us know how we can support you as an artist, other than sharing the shit out of this. I’d happily pay whatever asked for a full album of covers, but from the sound of your original, I’d love that even more. All the best to you, and good luck.
Juliana Chahayed
Thank you so much!! The EP is coming this summer :)
