Show Me
Lincoln Parish and Iration Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been up all night
Conversation going nowhere
Hit the light
And show me what lips are made for

Pressure is building now
Bottled up and bubbling out
I need you now

Just forgot what we're talking about
Words won't help us figure it out cause
Without a doubt, the time has come to

Show me

Been so long
The feeling is too familiar
Yet nothing's wrong
I know that we both belong here
Pressure is building now
Bottled up and bubbling out
I need you now
Just forgot what we're talking about
Words won't help us figure it out cause
Without a doubt
The time has come to

Show me

Show me
Open up your heart we can handle this my way
Show me
Show me what our words can't say

Show me
