May
Show Me the Skyline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

we got to talking on that day when we first met
my words were falling straight out from my chest
yeah she's amazing, i've never felt like this before
but she's playing games and i can't take it anymore

oh may
i just can't figure you out
you're what i dream about
you've got me going crazy
and i hope that you feel every word that i say
oh may
i've got to figure you out
oh before you start slipping away

she left me thinking, is she doing this for fun
but when she smiles, well i just know she's the one
my pulse is racing, and i just can't get enough
should i chase it, could i even call her bluff?

oh may
i just can't figure you out
you're what i dream about
you've got me going crazy
and i hope you can feel every word that i say
oh may
i've got to figure you out
oh before you start slipping away

every day
i can't stop thinking about
the words that you say
and really just about
every way
you do anything
can you believe
i'm sitting here desperately
begging for you to see
how much you mean to me

oh may
i just can't figure you out
you're what i dream about
you've got me going crazy
and i hope you can feel every word that i say
oh may




i've got to figure you out
before you start slipping away
