Nika Rory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told myself I...
I didn't need you.
Convinced myself I...
I convinced myself I...
I couldn't have you.
But now you're mine!
But I can't imagine my life...
Without you.
My Life Without You.

When I tell you I love you
There's no need doubt.
When I am not without you
I'm still thinking about
How lucky I am, yeah/
How much I can't stand it, yeah
To think about my life without you.

SETTLE DOWN
Put your feet on the ground
'Cause I'm awake and I'm not going anuwhere
'Cause I'm awake and I'm not going anywhere, anywhere

I lived my life without you
I told myself not to want you
But Now I do: I have you
I can't imagine ever going back
To being just friends
To being just friends
Never happened again
Never happened again

When I tell you I love you
There's no need to doubt.
When I am not without you
I'm still thinking about
How lucky I am, yeah
How much I can't stand it, yeah
To think about my life without you.

SETTLE DOWN
Put your feet on the ground
'Cause I'm awake and I'm not going anuwhere
Yes I'm awake and I'm not going anywhere, anywhere

I'm telling you now
I'm gonna come back
There ain't no messin' around
I'm heading for the long one, long one
I don't know what I'd do with anyone else
I'm ready to let you know that I need you here
And I'm not going any- not going anywhere
Don't be scared 'cause I'll always be there

SETTLE DOWN
Put your feet on the ground
'Cause I'm awake and I'm not going anuwhere
'Cause I'm awake and I'm not going anywhere, anywhere





I'LL WAIT!!!
