Phero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what to do
I feel like I'm gonna break, where are you?
I look up at the sky
I'm searching for someone to tell me why
I'm alive, I know they've said it before
I'm just holdin' on, holdin' on
I guess I'm just waitin' for you to call
I guess I'm just holdin' on, holdin' on for tonight
So I drink another drink
And I'm taken, I'm hit
But it's now yours, I'm missin' you
I'm missin' you
I'm missin' you
I'm missin' you
You-ooh
I've had all I could take
I don't know what to do
I feel like I'm gonna break, where are you?
I look up at the sky
I'm searching for someone to tell me why
I'm alive, I know they've said it before
So I'm just holdin' on, holdin' on
I'm just holdin' on, holdin' on
I guess I'm just waitin' for you to call
I guess I'm just holdin' on, holdin' on for tonight
So I drink another drink
And I'm taken, I'm hit
But it's now yours, I'm missin' you
I'm missin' you
I'm missin' you
I'm missin' you
You-ooh
I've had all I could take
I don't know what to do
I feel like I'm gonna break, where are you?
I look up at the sky
I'm searching for someone to tell me why
I'm alive, I know they've said it before
So I'm just holdin' on, holdin' on
