Let Me Be
Lost and Found Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what can I do for you
All the things are new
But with you I can feel at home
You're blue
Bluer than the sky, bluer than my mind
You said
You're not allowed not to smile
The way your eyes look at mine
Lights up the dark dark sky
I watch you talk, pace around
Oh but your smell calms me down
I know you do everything I do
Can you stop the time
Feathers of angels below your eyes
Do you feel cold without me close
Though I want you to be mine
Your light belongs to this world
So keep on flying
Oh I know there's always something more
That you hide behind that smile
Your heart is beating strong
Future is meaningless
Let me heal your past and present
Let me be your therapist
Pour your worries out, out, out
Be good, sleep well
You're not allowed not to smile
The way your eyes look at mine
Lights up the dark dark sky
I watch you talk, pace around
Oh but your smell calms me down
I know you do everything I do
Can you stop the time
You're blue
Warm enough and cool enough
Oh you calm me down
"I love you" rushed out of my mouth
Almost
