I Got You
Mocean Worker featuring Morley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around the corner I wait
For you start the flashlight
Up and down your blue shade
No one knows our hands flow
Now we're making rainbows
Fell into it, now I'm in it
Oooh When I love you
Street lamps turn to treetops
Reaching for the sky
Oooh When I love you
Traffic turns to horses
And they're runnin' wild
Soft eye, strong thigh
Sipping on a milkshake
Just a minute, put me in it
Now you know it tastes great
Elevate me, re-create
A place so far away from here
I'm giving, everything I feel dear
Oooh When I love you
Street lamps turn to treetops
Reaching for the sky
Oooh When I love you
Traffic turns to horses
And they're runnin' wild
(oooh)
(ohhh)
(ahhh)
Everything we give babe
Is everything we feel
Anytime you sigh babe
I will appear
Oooh When I love you
Street lamps turn to treetops
Reaching for the sky
Oooh When I love you
Subways turn into a magic carpet ride
Oooh When I love you
All the dreams I forgot
Come back to my mind
Oooh When I love you
Traffic turns to horses
And they're runnin' wild
