Talk To Me
Louis Edwards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanted to know you
To feel alive
I wanted to hold you
But I was terrified

But I could never let you go...
Taken back, don't leave me with questions
that I needed to know...
Don't understand this all just

Talk to me as you walk inside my mind
To the other side... Where I shine...
(To the other side... Where I shine...)

Life's a circle, But in the end
How can you hurt when
You got a friend?

Coz' everybody needs someone to call their name
Coz' everybody needs someone, we're all the same!

But I could never let you go...
Taken back, don't leave me with questions
that I needed to know...
Don't understand this all just

Talk to me as you walk inside my mind
To the other side... Where I shine...
Can't you see that I'm falling out of time?
To the other side... Where I hide...
(Ooh... Where I hide...)

Talk to me as you walk inside my mind
To the other side... Where I shine...




Can't you see that I'm falling out of time?
To the other side... Where I hide...
