Won't Stop
One Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I stared at you
From across the room
Until both my eyes were faded
I was in a rush
I was out of luck
Now I'm so glad that I waited
Well you were almost there
They say love ain't fair
But I'm doing fine
Cause I swear it's you
I swear it's you
I swear it's you that I've waited for
I swear it's you
I swear it's you
I swear it's you that my heart beats for
And it ain't gonna stop
No it just won't stop
Uh oh oh
Yeah
Now you were fine by night
But when the morning light comes
Comfortable as rain on Sunday
And I'm a lucky soul
That holds your hand so tight
Hope you hear this one day
Don't fool yourself
This is my truth
I swear it's you
I swear it's you
I swear it's you that i waited for
I swear it's you
I swear it's you
I swear it's you that my heart beats for
And it ain't gonna stop
It just won't stop
You take this hand
You take this heart
Steal my bones
From thousand miles apart
Feels so cold
Felt just like its ten shades of winter
And I need the sun
Oh yeah
Oh oh no no yeah yeah
And I swear it's you
I swear you
I swear it's you that it waited for
I swear it's you
I swear its
I swear it's you that my heart beats for
I swear it's you
I swear it's you
I swear it's you that I've waited for
I swear it's you
I swear it's you
I swear it's you that my heart beats for
And it ain't gonna stop
It just won't stop
Hey yeah
It just won't stop
No no no no woah yeah
I swear it's you
I swear it's you
Oh yeah
