Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m talking last kiss, dismist
But you've gone and made me change my mind
Now I want to tell you
To leave me alone and
Then let me go
Said I don′t care
And I'll be fine
And there you go, across my mind

To take your time
Baby I'll take mine
You′re giving me a reason to believe
Oh
I want, I want what, you′ve got you've got
No matter the person
You make it certain that
I′m facing the truth
I'll never get you
Thank you, for being you
Oh
I′m talking first kiss, finished
Then you go and make up my mind
Now I wont forget her
'Cause she made me feel something that I never could
Take your time
Baby I′ll take me
You're giving me a reason to believe
Oh
I want, I want what, you've got you′ve got
No matter the person
You make it certain that
I′m facing the truth
I'll never get you
Thank you, for being you
You′re everything I want
Everything I need
But you never feel the same
Discover what you want
To find out what you need
And thats okay
That's okay (with me)
I want, I want what, you′ve got you've got
No matter the person
You make it certain that
Facing the truth
I′ll never get you
Thank you, for being you
Oh

Yeah yeah yeah
End
