Her
Megan Owen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My arms are reaching out but she doesn't turn around
So here I lay, waiting
She said "don't go to bed" so I stay awake for three whole nights
Just to listen to her talk about the things she likes
I wanna know the places she goes when she can't think
I wanna be the one on her mind as she falls asleep
Cause she's on mine all the time, I don't get no relief
Every time we say goodbye I'm waiting for the next time we meet
She's oblivious to the way time stops when she opens her mouth
But I could spend hours hearing her voice
And wasted time isn't such a loss when you meet someone who makes you
Feel like you're enough
I feel like I'm enough
Sit with me for a moment
I forgot to breathe
Watching from the window
You're all that I see
I wanna know the places she goes when she can't think
I wanna be the one on her mind as she falls asleep




Cause she's on mine all the time, I don't get no relief
Every time we say goodbye I'm waiting for the next time we meet
