When I'm With You
Louise Carver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To some of them I may seem frozen
Locked in a dream
To some of them I may seem harder
Than a diamond ring

When I'm with you I know we argue
About silly things
But when I'm with you, want you to hold me
Stop the world from spinning

The days are long, the nights seem shorter
Work all the time
You're coming home and I'm departing
We'll get it right next time

When I'm with you I know we argue
About silly things
But when I'm with you, want you to hold me
Stop the world from spinning

Touch my skin, babe, I will (Touch my skin)
Let you in but
God, I have been hurt before
Not sure if I can take anymore
Touch my heart, boy (Touch my heart)
Yeah, I will opened up but
God, I have been hurt before not
Sure if I can
Just let go
Just let go

I'm trying
For you and me
I'm hoping
Just let it be

When I'm with you I know we argue
About silly things
But when I'm with you
Want you to hold me
Stop the world from spinning

Touch my skin, babe, I will (Touch my skin)
Let you in but
God, I have been hurt before
Not sure if I can take anymore
Touch my heart, boy (Touch my heart)
Yeah, I will opened up but
God, I have been hurt before not
Sure if I can




Just let go
Just let go
