what it is
Pure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of the right time
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of today
Maybe this is it
And it’s too late to rewind
Maybe this is it
I’m going all the way
In the beginning it was you and I
Every moment that we lived was always do or die
A girl like you is just so hard to find
I guess that makes you one of a kind
My heart beats out of my chest
Every second that I’m with you, I know that I’m blessed
I hope to make you see that I’m doing my best
Am I making sense or am I out of my head
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of the right time
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of today
Maybe this is it
And it’s too late to rewind
Maybe this is it
I’m going all the way
All the way up up up to the finish line
There ain’t anything anyone can say
Cus baby this is it
I know that it’s the right time
Baby this is it
I’m going all the way
They said I’d never meet a girl like you, it wasn’t true to that degree
All this time I looked, but you were standing right in front of me
I tried to not let it get over my head
But there’s just something about you and the words you said
My heart beats out of my chest
Every second that I’m with you, I know that I’m blessed
I hope to make you see that I’m doing my best
Am I making sense or am I out of my head
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of the right time
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of today
Maybe this is it
And it’s too late to rewind
Maybe this is it
I’m going all the way
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of the right time
Maybe this is it
I’m thinking of today
Maybe this is it
And it’s too late to rewind
Maybe this is it
I’m going all the way
All the way up up up to the finish line
There ain’t anything anyone can say
Cus baby this is it
I know that it’s the right time




Baby this is it
I’m going all the way
