Lately I was staring at my ceiling
Never get enough of sleep that I should get last evening
Thoughts running on my mind, keep coming all the time
It seems so true
clways in the way of running circles and its closing
But you were there for me, and you keep telling me
I'm here for you
Pre:
Crashing on a wave, I feel I'm drowning
Thoughts uninvited, of feeling blue
cnd you are on your way , coz I need somebody
That somebody is you
Chorus 1:
I can't stop thinking it might be you,
I love this feeling when Im with you,
I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling in love with you
3rd verse
You hold me tight when I feel lost and hurting
Even if it's hard for you, you want to keep me going
You're always there for me, and now you're telling me
I'm here, for you

I can't stop thinking it should be you
