Move You
Kelly Clarkson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a montage in a movie, right before the hero dies
Like the first time that you listen to your favorite singer live
Like an echo in a canyon
Like tears, but you're not sad
Like a sunrise on a mountain
I wanna move you like that

(Oh, oh)
Oh, I wanna move you like that (oh, oh)

Like a symphony at sundown, in the middle of July
When a lyric really gets you and it breaks you down inside
Like the home that you were raised in
Like faded photographs
Like the thrill of Christmas morning
Yeah, I wanna move you like that

(Oh, oh)
Oh, I wanna move you like that (oh, oh)

Like a solemn Hallelujah
Like a choir shouts amen (amen)
Like your first time falling in love on a stairway up to heaven
Like a soldier who is falling as he holds his country's flag
And he fights for freedom's calling
I wanna move you like that

(Oh, oh)
Oh, I wanna move you like that (oh, oh)
I wanna move you like that (oh, oh)
Oh, like that, oh (oh, oh)
I wanna move you like that (like that)
(Oh, oh)
(I wanna move you)

Like an endless fire burning
Like a hope that fuels the light
Like the hands that simply hold you, when words can't make it right
Like the first time that I met you, I fell so hard, so fast
Like that montage in a movie




Mmm, the way you move me
I wanna move you like that
