Nida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each time you cross my mind
What a spell you’ve cast
I feel home at last hmm
Won’t you come a little closer dear?
La-la-linger in my thoughts
Your eyes, that beautiful smile
Help me oh baby I feel lost
How can I explain?
When they ask me I’m clueless
So clueless
No I can’t even say your name
Without losin’ my breath
Oh my breath
A little ways down the road
When I bump into you
Accidentally on purpose
I’ll tell you I’m smitten
Dreams I been sittin’ and knittin’
Won’t leave this love, no quittin
Won’t leave those lips unbitten
How can I explain?
When they ask me I’m clueless
So clueless
No I can’t even say your name
Without losin’ my breath
Oh my breath
How can I explain?
When they ask me I’m clueless
So clueless
No I can’t even say your name
Without losin’ my breath
Oh my breath
You got my losin’ my breath
Oh my breath
See I been losin’ my breath
Oh my breath
Because of
You
