Hypnotized
Kristy Thirsk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd look to the sky and hope that my prayers got through
I thought I saw an angel with ribbon
Wrapping up love and writing my name down, too
And then I heard you fall
I knew I had it all
In our eyes it's more than a little proof
That you and I have more than a little
It's more than a little, the way our love grew
I know I'm going to love you forever
You fill up my veins, my soul and my heart's soaked through
I know that we'll spend always together
Even our journeys to heaven, we'll see it through
'Cause when you hold my hand
Then we both understand
In our eyes it's more than a little proof
We're hypnotized, it's more than a little proof
That you and I have more than a little
It's more than a little, the way our love grew
You and I are learning fast
How to make our true love last
You and I are coming home, yes
All our lives, we just stay hypnotised
In our eyes it's more than a little proof
We're hypnotized, it's more than a little proof
That you and I have more than a little
It's more than a little, the way our love grew
In our eyes it's more than a little proof
We're hypnotized, it's more than a little proof
That you and I have more than a little
It's more than a little, the way our love grew
