Local Opener Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you are for me
When I close my eyes
It's only you I see
I know it's not a dream
Even though we've only said a word or two
I know you're right for me
It's only you I see
I know it's not a dream
You've seen me try
To get your eye
By doing everything
I can't get to know you
I just can't get to know you fast enough
Because you're what I want
I just can't get to know you fast enough
My minute's up
Every word you say
Just makes my heart explode
I know you're my best friend
Every smile that you give to me
I hope it never ends
Grows dividends
You've seen me try
To get your eye
By doing everything
Now I just might cry
Knowing that I might not say anything
I can't get to know you
I just can't get to know you fast enough
Because you're what I want
I just can't get to know you fast enough
My minute's up
