James
Olivia Millerschin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could get him anything he'd like
To go somewhere that the air is clear
And there's no fears that his dreams will wash away, only tides
And everything he is, is my downfall
But he'll catch me
(Please catch me)
I hope
(Please catch me)
Forgot a rope, or a net
Or whatever, I need you anyway
So please catch me
My god, that body and his musicality
Could get him anything he needs
To find someone who stays by his side
Stays always true
And I think that could be me
And everything he is, is my downfall.
But he'll catch me
(Please catch me)
I hope
Yes, he'll catch me.
(Please catch me)
Forgot a rope, or a net
Or whatever, I need you anyway
So please catch me
Falling, I am falling
Falling, I am falling
Falling, I am falling
Falling for you
But you'll catch me, I know
Yes, he'll catch me
Forgot a rope, or a net
Or whatever, you'll catch me anyway
He always catches me
