Till There Was You
Rachel Starr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What in the world is a girl to do?
When in this smokey place I only see you
Was far away when you caught my eye
You've brought me back and now you're making me high
I was alone out there, with no one else around
Now I've fallen for you, and there's no coming down
Till there was you, I know what you're needing
My thoughts are leading, me straight into your eyes
What can I do? I'm looking right at you
This feeling is all new, I want you addicted to me
Fate can act in a curious way
When all that mattered means nothing today
All that concerns me, that drenches my thoughts
Is the sensation that seeing you brought
I was alone out there, with no one else around
Now I've fallen for you, and there's no coming down
[x6]
And there's no coming down..
Till there was you.. What can I do..?
