Contact
Noisettes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna lose a friend
I don't wanna miss an opportunity
I'm sorry that I let you down
I could not be what you wanted me to be

Soul music and rock and roll
All my life I've been chasing rainbows
When will I ever know
Know when it's time to go?

Close the door
'Cause it doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
'Cause I know for sure
It might be the last time
That I give my love to you

When we make contact, oh
I just never want it to end

Too fast and curious
Life flashes right before your sore eyes
What happens to the plants when they
Sipping cold lemonade outside in the shade

I feel it as we dance
The warm sensation of innocence
Together for world collide
I'll see you on the other side

But close the door
'Cause it doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
'Cause I know for sure
It might be the last time
That I give me love

When we make contact, oh
I just never want it to end
When we make contact, oh
I don't have to pretend

You don't have to say you love me
You don't have to say you love me
'Cause I know from the love you show

When we make contact, oh
I just don't want it to end
When we make contact, oh
I don't want it to

I don't want it to, I don't want it too
'Cause when we make contact
I just don't want it to end

You don't have to say you love me




You don't have to say you love me
'Cause I know
