Sight Of You
Sigrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what I'm leavin' until the moment is gone
Checkin' in, never checkin' out
I get tired, kinda grumpy
But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back
When I see you again
Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage
But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
The airline lost my luggage, still got all this weight
And all the things I'm done with are showin' up again
Breakin' in but I won't break down
I get tired, kinda grumpy
But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back
When I see you again
Sometimes it's like nothin' is going my way
Even though I know I'm gettin' up on that stage
But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
And I'll be damned if I ever forget
Just how lucky I am to be
Close to you when I need it the most
Can you hold me if I wanna leave?
Breakin' in but I won't break down
I get tired, kinda grumpy
But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back
When I see you again
Sometimes it's like nothin' is going my way
Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage
But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Sometimes it's like nothing is going my way
Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage
But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

All the things I thought I left behind are reappearing
I'll be damned if I ever forget
I'll be incredibly frustrated if I ever lose sight of
Just how lucky I am to be
The extreme fortune I possess by
Close to you when I need it the most
Being near you when I'm most in need of support
Can you hold me if I wanna leave?
Will you embrace me if I decide to depart?
Just how lucky I am to be
The extreme fortune I possess by
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Merely seeing you brings out the very best in me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Merely seeing you brings out the very best in me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Merely seeing you brings out the very best in me
