See You Girl
Sidibe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You embody everything
Everything that′s good in my life
Because of you I believe in dreams
And even when I don't I still try

Cause you care for me
Always there for me
Calm the storm that the world had prepared for me
You were sent to me
You are meant for me
When I′m with you I am home you're my sanctuary

Well I just wanna see you girl
I'm wondering if I could come over
Just wanna be in your world
Cause out here it can′t get any colder
Well I just wanna see you girl
Just wanna stand in your light
That′s why I need to see you girl

Time is just a lonely space
Anytime you're not by my side
There′s not a way you could be replaced
Cause no one else shines nearly so bright

Cause you care for me
Always there for me
Calm the storm that the world had prepared for me
You were sent to me
You are meant for me
When I'm with you I am home you′re my sanctuary

Well I just wanna see you girl
I'm wondering if I could come over
Just wanna be in your world
Cause out here it can′t get any colder
Well I just wanna see you girl
Just wanna stand in your light
That's why I need to see you girl

You were sent to me
You are meant for me
When I'm with you I am home you′re my sanctuary

Well I just wanna see u girl
I′m wondering if I could come over
Just wanna be in your world
Cause out here it can't get any colder
Well I just wanna see you girl




Just wanna stand in your light
That′s why I need to see you girl
