Chloe
Steve Salazar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday
At the show
I met this girl
Her name is Chloe
Brown hair
Pretty eyes
I think I'm in love for the first time.
She wears a peace sign
Around her neck
Something 'bout her
Felt so right
Unforgettable night.

I know I barely know her
But I've got this feeling about the way she
Takes her time with her words
I don't know why
I don't know why
I feel like
I could go with her tonight
She sure makes it feel alright.

Acoustic breakdown!
(Hahaha! )
Throw down that beat.
Now back to the song.

I've been texting her since one AM
Thinking about the perfect words to send
I don't know what to do.
Those four words that she said
Haven't quite left, left my head.
I feel like she believes
In me.

Woah oh.

I know I barely know her
But I've got this feeling about the way she
Takes her time with her words
I don't know why
I don't know why
I feel like
I could go with her tonight
She sure makes it feel alright.

Days go by.
I wish she was mine.
But, I'll keep hoping every night.

Days go by.
I wish she was mine.
But, I'll keep hoping every night

I know I barely know her
But I've got this feeling about the way she
Takes her time with her words
I don't know why
I don't know why
I feel like
I could go with her tonight
She sure makes it feel alright.

I know I barely know her
But I've got this feeling about the way she
Takes her time with her words
I don't know why
I don't know why
I feel like




I could go with her tonight
She sure makes it feel alright.
