Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things I do for you
Write a million love songs, hey, hey
Sail out to my heart
Come with me, please
Give me heart, give me love, give me rage
Oh, when it happens, I'm selfless
Can you imagine you get in?
(I'm getting to your heart, baby)
Who would suggest it? So let me in
Things you do for me
Give a million love songs, hey
Knew it from the start
I'll grow with you, oh
Give you heart, give you love, give you rage
Fill the deck, fill it so full
Let it rain, playful
Fill the deck, fill it so full
Let it rain, playful
'Cause if it happens, you're helpless
Oh, when it happens, I'm selfless
Can you imagine you getting?
(Hear my love song)
Who would suggest it? So let me in
(You can take to the love songs)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I'm helpless
Hey, you're helpless
Oh, oh, I'm helpless
It's just the way that it falls
It's in the way that it costs me
It's just the way that it falls
It's in the way that it costs me
So don't be afraid of me
I won't be afraid of you, I won't be afraid
Don't be afraid of me
I won't be afraid of you, I won't be afraid
