Dynamite
Leaving Caroline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down in my core
I′m searching for an alibi
Something I can't ignore
Inside my core
You could be the one in a lifetime
But I′m still not sure
If you're ready now we'll go
Right in my head
I can feel it
′Cause you understand my happiness
Your eyes are just like dynamite
Down in my core
Searching for an alibi
Is something I ignored
Would you hold my hand?
I'd never felt so good
Do you understand
That you could be the part of me
Can′t you see that you are dynamite?
Right in my head
I can feel it
'Cause you understand my happiness
Who do you see inside your dreams?
On winter end
What do you think about the time we spent together?
Could you say something
Please let me know
Dynamite right in my head
Dynamite right in my head
Can′t you see that you are dynamite?
Right in my head
I can feel it
'Cause you understand my happiness
Would you hold my hand?
Would you hold my hand?
(Your eyes are just like dynamite down in my core)
