I Could Be
Ra.Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I search for a feeling
I yearn for a fleeting touch
I stare at the ceiling
You don't know I love you so much
You lie here beside me
And yet you're so far away
I don't know how it happened
I just can't find the right words to say

Can it be forever
For just you and me
Or are we just drifting
Is it meant to be
Can it be forever
For just you and me
Or are we just waiting
To set ourselves free

I have such a longing
To feel the warmth of your skin
But no sense of belonging
No sense of just where to begin
Did I ever betray you
Did I I ever turn you away
What was it that made you
Decide to start pulling away

Can it be forever
For just you and me
Or are we just drifting
Is it meant to be
Can it be forever
For just you and me
Or are we just waiting
To set ourselves free

I want you to want me
The way that I want you
I want you to feel me
The way that I'm feeling you
I want you to love me
The way that I love you
Can it be forever
I wan to believe that it's true

Can it be forever
For just you and me
Or are we just drifting
Is it meant to be
Can it be forever
For just you and me
Or are we just waiting
To set ourselves free

Can it be forever
For just you and me
Or are we just drifting
Is it meant to be
Can it be forever
For just you and me




Or are we just waiting
To set ourselves free
