Rex Goudie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring at the clouds together, your hand inside of mine*
Who will be the first to say what's really on our minds
I'm a tangled mess inside but you're so self assured
I wonder if it's me you want, or is someone else your world?

I'm so wrapped up in you, how can I bare to face the truth?

I'm so scared of what might come

If I ask if I'm the only one
Cause' I know without your love
I'd come undone

It's been a while since I've felt the way I feel when I'm with you
I'm a prisoner in your presence, there's nothing I'd rather do
Just the way the morning hits your hair, the freckles on your nose
Turn myself toward the sunlight and shield your eyes to keep them closed

I love to watch you dream, are you dreaming about me?

I'm so scared of what might come
If I ask if I'm the only one
Cause' I know without your love
I'd come undone
If you could see the way I do
Then you'd know why I'm tied up in you
Cause' I know without your love
I'd come undone

I was coming apart when you brought me up
Filled in the cracks of my broken heart

I'm so scared of what might come
If I ask if I'm the only one
Cause' I know without your love
I'd come undone
If you could see the way I do
Then you'd know why I'm tied up in you
Cause' I know without your love
I'd come undone

I'd come undone
I'd come undone
