Valentine
Lava Baby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dreamed I was a wishing well
And you were there, but I can't remember
Then someone spoke and they made fade away
I wish I knew what the answer was
I wanna sleep, but I hear my mother
She's tellin' me that I can't be late today
My friends wouldn't understand
They ask me, but I keep the secret
They don't know what's written on my hand
My life line is a little longer
My love line is a little stronger
By springtime, we'll be walkin' hand in hand
Does he know I love him so?
I can't be sure, but it's too late now
I want him to be mine, I asked him




Won't you be my Valentine?
Won't you be my Valentine?
