N‐Trance Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah
When I hold you, baby
Feel your heartbeat close to me (oh yeah)
Wanna stay in your arms forever
Only love can set you free

When I wake each morning
As the storm beats down on me

And I know we belong together
Only love can set you free

Set you free
(Free, free, free)

Oh yeah
When we touch each other
In a state of ecstasy
Want this night to last forever
Only love can set you free

Set you free (free)
Set you free (free)

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Set you free (oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Set you free, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Set you free (oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Free, oh yeah, oh yeah)

Oh yeah
When I hold you, baby
Feel your heartbeat close to me (oh yeah)
Wanna stay in your arms forever
Only love can set you free

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Set you free (oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Set you free, oh yeah, oh yeah)

Set you free (oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Free, oh yeah, oh yeah)
