Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feelin' this one right here
Don't know, I don't know what's goin' on?
Somethin's happened, I just don't feel the same at all
When you touch me, I just have to close my eyes
Each time you hug me, feel it's happening inside
What's always been forbidden between us
Baby, somethings about to happen
Tell me you cannot feel us falling?
You and I are about to become us
Feels like, feels like I've been going crazy for your lovin'
And even though we're only friends, I need much more than
So much more of you than what you have been givin'
Feel it's happening inside
And I, I'm about to say
What's always been forbidden between us
Baby, somethings about to happen
Tell me you cannot feel us falling?
You and I are about to become us
We could become one, babe
So much more in love
And I love you, baby
I trust you, babe, with my heart
Baby, somethings about to happen
Tell me you cannot feel us falling?
Baby, somethings about to happen
Tell me you cannot feel us falling?
Baby, somethings about to happen
Tell me you cannot feel us falling?
Baby, somethings about to happen
Tell me you cannot feel us falling?
We're about to become us
'Bout to become us
We're about to become us
'Bout to become us
The lyrics of Tamia's song "Become Us" describe a situation where the singer is feeling a strong attraction towards someone they have been friends with. They are experiencing a transformation in their emotions and are now falling in love with this person. The singer is uncertain about what's happening between them and what to do. However, they are in a state of euphoria when this person is around them, and they feel something is happening inside that they cannot control. The author is likely suggesting that they are about to cross a line with this person - something that has always been forbidden.
The chorus is repeated many times throughout the song, indicating that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are not the only one experiencing these strong emotions. They want to know if the person they are attracted to feels the same way. They are on the brink of becoming a couple, but they need assurance from the other person that they feel the same way.
In conclusion, Tamia's "Become Us" is a heartfelt song about falling in love with a friend and the uncertainty around how to proceed. It highlights the excitement, the fear and the anticipation that comes with the prospect of starting a relationship with someone who is already in your life.
