You And Me Against The World
Shannon Mcarthur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But baby I was wrong
Found someone else, and I'm sure it feels so good
You feel brand now, and that's how you belong
I need you more, than you could know
I can't let you go, yeah, my days are moving slow
I can't let you go
Woke up from a dream,
And damn right, you can bet it was about you
And those blue eyes
Sadly girl it seems,
That right now there ain't a thing that we can do
We've already tried
I need you more, than you could know
I can't let you go, yeah, my days are moving slow
I can't let you go
Without saying goodbye
And getting lost in those eyes
And hoping I don't find my way back again
I need you more, than you could know
I can't let you go, yeah, my days are moving slow
I can't let you go
