Lindy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You carry me away as if I've no choice
You take me under your wing
I'm helpless
Peacefully I surrender
I feel like it's the very first time on an elevator
It's one time I don't mind at all
'Cause I would love to take you home
We'll leave tonight; we'll be on our own
Wherever I go, I'll be looking out for you
I miss you
I feel so limitless
I long for your sweet caress, and I love you to pieces
And this is what you get while you're sleeping
A happy accident
And now I'll be keeping yours with mine
And mine with yours
I'm always on the outside, I will test you 'till the end of the world
It's one time I don't mind at all
'Cause I would love to take you home
We'll leave tonight; we'll be on our own
Wherever I go, I'll be looking out for you
Did you see what I saw?
Yes, I was there 24 hours ago
I'll be livin' all my life, it seems
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Yes, I would love to take you home
We'll leave tonight; we'll be on our own
Wherever I go, I'll be looking out for you
No matter what is comin' to
I'll be looking out for you
