Lost in Love
Marcela Mangabeira Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I realized the best part of love is the thinnest slice
And it don't count for much
But I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out, what I needed was someone to show me
You know you can't fool me, I've been loving you too long

It started so easy, you want to carry on (Carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much was I thinking aloud
Fell out of touch, but I'm back on my feet
And eager to be what you wanted
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out, what I needed was someone to show me
You know you can't fool me, I've been loving you too long
It started so easy, you want to carry on (Carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much, was I thinking aloud
Fell out of touch, but I'm back on my feet
And eager to be what you wanted

You know you can't fool me, I've been loving you too long
It started so easy, you want to carry on (Carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much, was I thinking aloud
Fell out of touch, but I'm back on my feet
Eager to be what you wanted
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out, what I needed was someone to show me
I'm lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud, fell out of touch
But I'm back on my feet, eager to be what you wanted
So lift your eyes if you feel you can

Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out, what I needed was someone to show me
