Rex Goudie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been lied to a million times before
I know that you tried to move on be strong hold on
Stealth in the distance like you're a thousand miles away
Like no one ever listens but trust me this time is gonna change

I tell you I want you a thousand times every day
My love won't fade

Whatever it is that want
Whatever it is that you say
I'll do my best I swear I'm gonna make it that way
Whatever it is that you need go ahead and take it from me
I'll do my best until I make you believe

Any risk that I take will be worth it to get through to you
'Cause you're the one I search for
And the one thing that I would never lose

I tell you I want you a thousand times every day
My love won't fade

Whatever it is that want
Whatever it is that you say
I'll do my best I swear I'm gonna make it that way
Whatever it is that you need go ahead and take it from me
From me!

I turn off the stars
Turn off the sun to carry you away
Drain the ocean just to be with you
I paint the sky the color of your eyes so you watch over me
Then you'd see that I'd do anything

Whatever it is that want
Whatever it is that you say
I'll do my best I swear I'm gonna make it that way
Whatever it is that you need go ahead and take it from me
From me

Whatever it is that want
Whatever it is that you say
I'll do my best I swear I'm gonna make it that way
Whatever it is that you need go ahead and take it from me

I'll do my best until I make you believe
I'll make you believe
