Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna get to know you somehow
Shake me, wake me, take me too high
Soothe me, baby, while I touch the sky
Mmm, mmm, come away now
Gonna get to know you somehow
Mmm, mmm, take me too high
Soothe me, baby, while I touch the sky
'Cos I need you every step of the way
Come on, baby, hear what I say
What a wonder, wonder, wonderful day to fly
I'm on a landslide
Chasin' the blue sky
Wanna be near to where you are
Emotional landslide
You've blown me sky high
Woken the storm and stole my heart
Softly, baby, make one wish
Take me on the wings of your kiss
Move me, groove me, soothe me and say
You come this far to take me away
Mmm, mmm, come away now
Gonna get to know you somehow
Mmm, mmm, take me too high
Soothe me, baby, while I touch the sky
'Cos I need you every step of the way
Come on, baby, hear what I say
What a wonder, wonder, wonderful day to fly
I'm on a landslide
Chasin' the blue sky
Wanna be near to where you are
Emotional landslide
You've blown me sky high
Woken the storm and stole my heart
And, oh, baby, I'm on my knees
Trying to slip and slide just to please
Mama said there'd be days like these
Then, oh, baby
And, oh, baby, some day you'll see
I've got the lock and you hold the key
Mama said it would turn out to be
And, oh, baby
'Cos I need you every step of the way
Oh, no, no, hear what I say
What a wonder, wonder, wonderful day to fly
Oh, ooh
I'm on a landslide
Chasin' the blue sky
Wanna be near to where you are
Emotional landslide
You've blown me sky high
Woken the storm and stole my heart
I'm on a landslide
Chasin' the blue sky
Wanna be near to where you are
Emotional landslide.
