Use Me
Plus One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look love what you've done to me
Not a sound, sneak up on me
Double take and I'm turned around, around

So many nights I laid awake
Hoping it was not too late
Try to go then I hesitate
But now, but now

I gotta face the facts
Can't run away or hold it back
I'm gonna give it all I have
And I want you to

[Chorus]
Use me
Teach me
I want to go wherever you lead me
Take me
Lead me
Cause I know in my soul that you won't deceive me
Use me
Reach me
See, right where you are is where
I want to be
And I'm ready to give my heart away
Come on and use me

It's a tug a war sometimes
And life's reverse this mind
But there's nothing I can't deal (I can't deal with)
This time I can prove to you
I'm the man you say you always knew
Got a lot that I mean for real, for real

I've gotta face the facts
Can't run away or hold it back
I want to share all that I've learned
And I want you to

[Chorus]

Come on and use me [Repeat: x2]
(Cause I'll never be afraid to give you anything you want)
Come on and use me
You gotta use me
(Cause I need to make it easy when the others make it hard)
Come on and use me [Repeat: x2]
(Cause I'll never be afraid to give you anything you want)
Come on and use me
You gotta use me
(Cause I need to make it easy when the others make it hard)





[Chorus]
