Nightcrawler feat. Dana Jean Phoenix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke up by the moonlight
The dream that you dreamed that ship only that I would've waited
I don't want you to know that you have got such a hold on me
Cause even though I feel this way I alack from control of me
Body up, up I know I learned true love because you is someone to turn to
Body up, up I know I learned true love because you is someone to turn to
Body up, up I know I learned true love because you is someone to turn to
You're the one that I turn to
The world shining so bright
The haze in the sunrise
It seems like a scene from your favorite movie with my happy ending
I don't want you to know that you have got such a hold on me
Cause even though I feel this way I alack from control of me
Body up, up I know I learned true love because you is someone to turn to
Body up, up I know I learned true love because you is someone to turn to
Body up, up I know I learned true love because you is someone to turn to
Body up, up I know I learned true love because you is someone to turn to
You're the one that I turn to

This song brings me to a state I cannot describe. It's like it makes me feel nostalgic of a place and era I didn't live in, but somehow experience it through the song
