Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the verge of giving up
Tired of your heart breakin'
You've almost had enough
It's not supposed to be that hard
Maybe love is closer than you think
I'll be what you're lookin' for
I'll give you somethin' more
Take you to a place you've never been, never been
Show you somethin' true that's what you deserve
Whatever I have to do, I wanna do it for you, yeah
Remember I'm the one
To get you on your feet
Ain't it funny how you turned to me
When you're feeling incomplete
I always helped you take a breath
Now I just wanna take your breath away
Well, I've heard you saying that you need someone like me
Baby, open up that door

Catch you with lovin' arms if you're ready to fall
