Reunion
Marie Dahlstrom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t worry, when you’re looking, I’m waving
It’s a crowded bar
Eyes meeting, deep breathing
When I see you from afar
Seeing the small and I move so away
Makes me remember the word I felt for you
Oh baby when you talk like that
You’re makin me wait until my heart so fast
I need to take one step back before you get this
My heart’s giving extra beats
I’m longing for your touch and your mystery
You need to take one step back before you get me
(Verse)
It’s morning, we’re shining
When we leave the park
Street light and the moonlight makes you glow in the dark
That’s how to make this world so big
I feel I can feel every step I take
Oh yea
(Chorus)
Oh baby when you talk like that
You’re makin me wait until my heart so fast
I need to take one step back before you get this
My heart’s giving extra beats
I’m longing for your touch and your mystery
You need to take one step back…
(Verse)
See I felt it was mutual so when our eyes connect
We both quite hesitant in taking that first step
‘Cause we’re tryna figure out what will happen next
But that’s logical
When we tryna catch our breath
I guess dreams do come true
‘Cause when you come through
All I see is you beaming like the sun do
Bright lights, blue skies above the sunny view
It’s just you but right now I’m so comfortable
How you feelin?
Lovely
I’ve been feeling
So connected
To you
As long as we
I think we could be
Everything we need
Oh oh my darling
(Chorus)
Oh baby when you talk like that
You’re makin me wait until my heart so fast
I need to take one step back before you get this
My heart’s giving extra beats
I’m longing for your touch and your mystery
You need to take one step back…
(x4)
Step back, step closer girl
I just wanna be a part of your world
Imagine that, two hearts attached
In this world it’s a beautiful match
