Twice
Southwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I wake up in the morning
Till I lay my head down
I think about you baby
So happy you're the one I've found
I could never do you wrong, no
Girl you best believe it
So kiss me once if you like it
And twice if you mean it

Well you came from the mountains
moved into town
In school you were the new girl
I was the clown
You had all the answers
I carved your name in my desk
I knew then that one day
We'd be holding hands

When I wake up in the morning
Till I lay my head down
I think about you baby
So happy you're the one I've found
I could never do you wrong, no
Girl you best believe it
So kiss me once if you like it
And twice if you mean it

You came into the bedroom
Let your hair down
We were both so nervous
It was the first time around
With your hair all around me
The taste of your skin
We were wildflowers
Getting tangled, tangled in the wind

When I wake up in the morning
Till I lay my head down
I think about you baby
So happy you're the one I've found
I could never do you wrong, no
Girl you best believe it
So kiss me once if you like it
And twice if you mean it

When it seems like forever
Since I've asked for your hand
You'll still be my firefly
And I'll still be your man
We'll have seen all the good times
And been through the pouring rain
But as long as I'm still breathing
I'm gonna whisper in your ear and say

When I wake up in the morning
Till I lay my head down
Since the first time that I saw you
All the way till now
I don't want no other woman
Girl you best believe it
So kiss me once if you like it
And twice if you mean it





So kiss me once if you like it
And twice if you mean it

Line by Line Meaning

When I wake up in the morning
From the moment I open my eyes in the morning


Till I lay my head down
Until I go to bed at night


I think about you baby
You're always on my mind, my thoughts continually return to you


So happy you're the one I've found
I'm deeply content and grateful that you are my partner


I could never do you wrong, no
I promise to always treat you with respect, kindness, and honesty


Girl you best believe it
I'm sincere and earnest in what I'm saying to you


So kiss me once if you like it
If you enjoy being with me, give me one kiss


And twice if you mean it
If you truly care for me, give me two kisses


Well you came from the mountains
You have a unique background and perspective


moved into town
You took a chance on a new place, new people, and new experiences


In school you were the new girl
You were a newcomer, trying to find your place in a different environment


I was the clown
I was the class clown, trying to make everyone laugh and fit in


You had all the answers
You were smart and knew how to handle yourself in different situations


I carved your name in my desk
I had a crush on you and wanted to make you notice me


I knew then that one day
I had a feeling, a sense of knowing, that something would happen between us


We'd be holding hands
We would be together, close and intimate


You came into the bedroom
You entered my personal space, my sanctuary, my intimate domain


Let your hair down
You relaxed, let your guard down, became vulnerable


We were both so nervous
We were feeling scared, anxious, unsure of what would happen next


It was the first time around
It was the first time we were intimate with each other


With your hair all around me
I was surrounded, enclosed, and embraced by your hair


The taste of your skin
I savored, relished, and enjoyed the sensation of your skin on my tongue


We were wildflowers
We were free-spirited, spontaneous, and unpredictable


Getting tangled, tangled in the wind
We were caught up in the moment, lost in the experience, swept away by our passion


When it seems like forever
Even when a lot of time has passed and things have changed


Since I've asked for your hand
Since I proposed to you, formally asked for your commitment


You'll still be my firefly
You'll still be the light, the spark, and the inspiration in my life


And I'll still be your man
I'll still be your companion, your supporter, and your lover


We'll have seen all the good times
We will have shared all the happy, joyful moments together


And been through the pouring rain
And we will have endured and survived all the difficult and challenging situations


But as long as I'm still breathing
As long as I'm alive and have breath in me


I'm gonna whisper in your ear and say
I'll speak softly and lovingly to you and tell you


Since the first time that I saw you
From the moment I laid eyes on you


All the way till now
Until this very moment, right here, right now


I don't want no other woman
I don't want anyone else but you, no one compares to you in my eyes


Girl you best believe it
I hope you realize and understand the depth of my love and commitment to you


So kiss me once if you like it
If you enjoy being with me, give me one kiss


And twice if you mean it
If you truly care for me, give me two kisses
