People
P.J. Olsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can`t handle falling down
Oh no, don`t go
You say that sad songs get you down
But you know, they make you grow

And if you give that song a chance
You might just give us a chance and
If there is someone who will stand up
And tell me that love has a reason
You can be the strong one
You can be the word man
People want to hear what they`re feeling
On the inside

Please don`t be that soft with me
I`m hardcore love
You knock me down with your misery
And I make love to your angry soul
As the coach comes around the bench
I am small but I`m feeling tall
Took two years to get a hit
But now I`m smokin` every day

And if you give that song a chance
You might just give us a chance and

If there`s someone who will stand up
And tell me that love has a reason
You can be the strong one
You can be the word man
People want to people want to hear

People want to hear what they`re feeling
On the inside

People want to hear what they`re feeling
On the inside

People want to hear what they`re feeling
On the inside





People want to hear what they`re feeling
On the inside
