Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was searching for her before home was a place
My, oh my, and oh my love
Yeah, she’s opened up my world
I can’t compare her
And there she goes
Blinded by the morning light
She’s my getaway
Won’t you purify my soul?
Don’t you know I love you so?
Let me see the beautiful inside of you
Teach me how to rock and roll
Teach me everything you know
Because I know that you feel the same as I do
I can see the sky, now the blue’s back in my eye
I can do what I please as she gave everything to me
Woah, I hope she never settles down
Hope she’s always ‘round my house
‘Cos she’s my little getaway
My something special
There she goes
Blinded by the morning light
She’s my getaway
I’ve found my place to stay
She’s my getaway
Won’t you purify my soul?
Don’t you know I love you so?
Let me see the beautiful inside of you
Woah, teach me how to rock and roll
Teach me everything you know
Because I know that you feel the same as I do
I’ve been trying to think of what to say
But darling, honestly, there’s not much to the way
I’ve been dreaming about you
I’m crazy over you
I just really need you
Oh…
So, won’t you purify my soul?
Take me places I can’t go?
Let me see the beauty inside of you
Oh, teach me how to rock and roll
Teach me everything you know
Because I know that you feel the same as I do
She’s really all I need
She’s really all I need
She’s really all I need
She’s really all I need
