Sing To Me
Kate Miller-Heidke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been one of those days
I need to wash it all away
Sun come down, come down
Whisper me awake
Make me forget that I am broken
Bend and draw your curtain
Sweep me off my feet, oh night
Let me be released

Sing to me, sing to me
Wrap that voice around me
Beautiful beautiful voice
Come and carry me away
Sing to me, sing to me
It's the only thing I want
It's the only thing I think about
If you can't sing me a love song
Sing me anything, anything you want

Yes I know you were another's
I can feel it in your kisses
I don't even care, I swear
It wasn't like this
But it's been one of those times
I need to wash it from my mind
Sun come down, come down
Come and make it right

Sing to me, sing to me
Wrap that voice around me
Beautiful beautiful voice
Come and carry me away
Sing to me, sing to me
It's the only thing I want
It's the only thing I think about
If you can't sing me a love song
Sing me anything, anything you want

Sing to me, sing to me
Wrap that voice around me
Beautiful beautiful voice
Come and carry me away

Sing to me, sing to me
Wrap that voice around me
Beautiful beautiful voice
Come and carry me away
Sing to me, sing to me
It's the only thing I want
It's the only thing I think about
If you can't sing me a love song
Sing me anything, anything you want

Sing me a love song
Sing me anything, anything you want
