If You Love Me
Knee Deep / F.K. Junior and Sindress Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a chill and I wanted to say it was you
Be still because what I'm about to say is the truth
Unless we stretch until the point in nearly breaking in two
Will never find our weakness coming on glue

A cracked sculpture I wanted to say it was you
Being vultures is why I feel the way I do
I fell in love and I wanted to say it was you

I wanted to say it was you

If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
It means you have to disbelieve yourself

A sudden wind and I wanted to say it was you
I never been so confused about who knows the truth
It began when I wanted to say it was you
'Cause I swore you had your head in this too

If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
You know it means you have to disbelieve yourself
If you believe me

Because I'm here wondering what could you be thinking
Though I know you that you're thinking I wonder that all the time
I can still invade your thoughts when you're not with me
Yet don't mind me I'm just a pin side on your mind
Yeah don't mind me I know you're wondering all the time

If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me

It means you have to disbelieve yourself
If you believe me

Line by Line Meaning

I got a chill and I wanted to say it was you
I had a feeling that came over me and I thought it was because of you

Be still because what I'm about to say is the truth
Stay calm because what I am about to say is honest

Unless we stretch until the point in nearly breaking in two
Unless we push ourselves to the limit where we almost break apart

Will never find our weakness coming on glue
We will not realize our vulnerability until it's too late

A cracked sculpture I wanted to say it was you
I saw a broken piece of art and thought of you

Being vultures is why I feel the way I do
Acting like scavengers is the reason why I am feeling like this

I fell in love and I wanted to say it was you
I have fallen in love and I believe it's because of you

If you believe me
If you trust me

We can stand the test of time like no one else
We can endure anything that comes our way

It means you have to disbelieve yourself
It requires you to doubt your own convictions

A sudden wind and I wanted to say it was you
I felt a sudden gust of wind and thought it was because of you

I never been so confused about who knows the truth
I have never been so unsure about who knows what's really going on

It began when I wanted to say it was you
It all started when I thought it had to do with you

'Cause I swore you had your head in this too
Because I believed that you were involved in this as well

Because I'm here wondering what could you be thinking
I am here contemplating what you might be thinking about

Though I know you that you're thinking I wonder that all the time
Even though I know that you think about other things, I still wonder what's on your mind

I can still invade your thoughts when you're not with me
I can still occupy your thoughts even when we are apart

Yet don't mind me I'm just a pin side on your mind
But don't pay attention to me, I am just a small part of the thoughts in your mind

Yeah don't mind me I know you're wondering all the time
So yeah, ignore me, I know that you are constantly questioning things
