21 Reasons
Nathan Dawe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two is you set me free
From all the things that held me
Back from just being me
Thank you for all the sweetness
Now I can finally breathe
Now I can finally breathe
But baby, don't you see?
I still get frustrated, I can't lie
When you keep on doing things I don't like
And I hate your friends
And I hate your moods
And I shouldn't love you
I got twenty-one reasons why I do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
I got twenty-one reasons why I do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
I got twenty-one reasons why I do
Three is the way you hold me
That's what I'm waiting for
If I try to get it naughty
Movin' around the floor
You took away the lonely
And I let you come for me
Loving the company
But baby, don't you see?
I still get frustrated, I can't lie
When you keep on doing things I don't like
And I hate your friends (your friends)
And I hate your moods (your moods)
And I shouldn't love you
I got twenty-one reasons why I do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
I got twenty-one reasons why I do
My friends say you ain't good enough
And maybe I should give you up
But I've got my reasons and here comes another one
Here comes another one
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, keep on countin'
I shouldn't love you
I got twenty-one reasons why I do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
I got twenty-one reasons why I do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, oh, do-do-do
Oh, do-do-do
I got twenty-one reasons why I do
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, keep on countin'
I shouldn't love you
But I got twenty-one reasons why I do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
I've got twenty-one reasons why I do

Now I can finally breathe
I have the space to breathe freely
But baby, don't you see?
However, do you understand?

Movin' around the floor
Dancing on the floor
You took away the lonely
You banished my loneliness
And I let you come for me
I allowed you to pursue me
Loving the company
I enjoy your company
My friends say you ain't good enough
My peers believe you are substandard
And maybe I should give you up
Perhaps I should let you go
