Cloud 9
Shado Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look up to the sky
In the night, there are things that haunt me
I don't know where to run
I want you close to me (Close to me)
I want you close to me
Please don't go (Don't you go)
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I'll see you in the night
Yeah, I'll see you in the night (In the night)
When I wake up, I hope I see you by my side
Take your time
I'll be waiting for you, even until the bells chime
When I'm with you girl I feel like I'm on Cloud 9
I just wanna feel high
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I'll see you in my dreams, tonight (I need you)
I'll have you by my side, to get through the night (I need you)
And when the stars align, for one more time I'll see you shine
I needed you, but you weren't there for me (I need you)
You were never there for me
You left so easily
We're just a sad story
With a tragic ending
Did you ever love me
The answer is no I guarantee
Just a broken memory
Did you ever love me (I need you)
Did you ever love me (I need you)
Did you ever love me (I need you)




Did you ever love me (I need you)
Did you ever love me
