Because We Can
Karmina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the day, that we made, our first love
With our eyes?
We were both so crazy
Everyday, we had our way, way high above
Just thinkin of
The beauty of our lives
Every dream, suddenly, seemed so real
And I could feel, oh
Insipiration rising
You're the muse, who put to use, all of these songs
So what took you so long?
Cause now the
Stars are brighter, every
Moment better, and I
Can't believe that you fell into my life, now the
Sun is warmer, all my
Love is deeper, and I
Suddenly feel everything's more alive
Now that you're around... now that you're around
Do you believe in magic?
I wasn't sure, but the cure, of doubt was you
Now I know it's true
I want this forever
We'll be strong, forever long, we'll let it grow
And never let this go, cause now the
Stars are brighter, every
Moment better, and I
Can't believe that you fell into my life, now the
Sun is warmer, all my
Love is deeper, and I
Suddenly feel everything's more alive
Now that you're around... now that you're around
If it rained and it all came crashing down
And then it hit the ground
I won't care, because now I've got you around
You're the one I've found
And it's you... baby, it's you
Stars are brighter, every
Moment better, and I
Can't believe that you fell into my life, now the
Sun is warmer, all my
Love is deeper, and I
Suddenly feel everything's more alive
Now that you're around... now that you're around
