Murs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't compare to the way you shine
You came in and you blew my mind
Yeah, I think it's time you marry me
You should meet me all dressed in white (whoa, oh, oh)
'Cause I'm the best when you're by my side (whoa, oh, oh)
'Cause I swear you're the one and I know what I want, whoa
No more wastin' time, let's face it
Take my hand 'cause if we don't try, then I guess we'll never know
All these lights
Don't compare to the way you shine
You came in and you blew my mind
Yeah, I think it's time you marry me
You on me
Could be dancin' like one, two, three
Got me talkin' like A, B, C

Yeah (woo, woo, woo)
Yeah (woo, woo, woo)
I think that you should say, "Yeah" (woo, woo, woo)
Yeah, I think it's time you marry me
You make a man drop to his knees (whoa, oh, oh)
And while I'm down, I could give you a ring (whoa, oh, oh)
No more wastin' time, let's face it
Take my hand 'cause if we don't try, then I guess we'll never know
