Like Water
Ladi 6 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One morning I woke up, looked over and
Kissed your shoulder
It felt so right
You didn't wake
I could see it in your face
You knew my intention right

Sometimes I swear our connection was made amongst the stars
And makes me feel alive
Our love is powerful, so powerful
Moving mountains in the night
Oh, and I know sometimes this is hard for us
I know we sacrifice and get scarred, and cut, oh

I know it, I feel us moving
Let's never lose us this, this movement
Momentum is building, our union is fluid like water
Clean, clear, crisp, we got a love just like this, water
Our love is like water

Persecuted, a leper left out to live upon the edge of life
How they left you, right, that's how they left you right
I picked up the pieces
They left you in broken pieces on the floor
Glowing in holy light
And even though I know they love you very much
They don't love you more than me
This you can trust, oh

I know it, I feel us moving
Let's never lose this, this movement
Momentum is building, our union is fluid like water
Clean, clear, crisp, we got a love just like this, water
Our love is like water

Like water, oh oh
I know it, I feel it, oh

I know it, I feel us moving
Let's never lose this, this movement
Momentum is building, our union is fluid like water
Clean, clear, crisp, we got a love just like this, water
Our love is like water

I know it, I feel us moving it
Let's never lose this, this movement
Momentum is building, our union is fluid like water




Clean, clear, crisp, we got a love just like this, water
Our love is like water
