Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Impossible oh
Love felt impossible
Until you came into my heart
Potential laid up in the dark
Like wishing on a shooting star
I feel responsible to tell you how I want you bad
Created what I always lacked
Pushed me
To be my best
A reminder laying on my chest
To take the time and just connect
Lovely
To witness growth
The universe is coming home
I feel it all up in my soul
Love feels possible
With you by my side
Are you in it for the ride
Love is patient gotta treat it like it's mine
Love feels possible
I feel it all up in my spine yeah
My chakras feeling so aligned
I see us till the end of time
Love feels possible
My intuition guides me to
A future where there's me and you
So bright from all these yellow hues
You feel unexplainable, you take me to my highest high
You make fall and realize
The sun and moon can alkalize
You take
Take me to
Everything I never knew
Show you love and all my gratitude
Thank you god for my loving moon
Thank you god for this opportunity
Thank god for you
