I Found A Love
New Hopes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words escaping out
Leaving you to wait
But I know you can wait it out
So I'm taking a step down
Maybe I'll find common ground
I got you face to face
Mmm
Don't wanna bottle up inside
Wanna roll the dice
Allow me time to try
I thought about it way too much the last couple of nights
So I'll shed some light
It's easier to say it in a song
Listen up 'cause it won't take too long
Every time it's slipping off my tongue
My words always come out wrong
And I know it makes you laugh
If I say it first would you say it back?
Oh I don't know (no, no)
How to say I love you before you go
Strangers find their way
If it's really meant to be
'Cause baby, we believe in serendipities
And it's all up to us now (all up to us now)
To see how this road turns out
I got you face to face
Mmm
Don't wanna bottle up inside
Wanna roll the dice
Allow me time to try
I thought about it way too much the last couple of nights
So I'll shed some light
It's easier to say it in a song
Listen up 'cause it won't take too long
Every time it's slipping off my tongue
My words always come out wrong
And I know it makes you laugh
If I say it first would you say it back?
Oh I don't know (no, no)
How to say I love you before you go
How to say I love you before you go
It's easier to say it in a song
Listen up 'cause it won't take too long
Every time it's slipping off my tongue
My words always come out wrong
And I know it makes you laugh
If I say it first would you say it back?
Oh I don't know (no, no)
How to say I love you before you go, hmm
