Walls
Tera Kòrá Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just the other day I was feeling down
Started to get crazy cos nobody around
I just wanted someone to just hold it down
I was just about leave town
Done with all the gray skies
So in need of a high tide
To wash away the pain
I been hiding behind my smile
And I can remember
All my walls was up
Never expected
You would pick up
When I called you up

You brighten up, my day
I'm happy you, my bae
You brighten up, my day
I'm happy you, my bae
My baby

I know this ain't random,
It was bound to be
I know this ain't random,
It was bound to be, yeah
And there's something special bout ya
You make me want to be around you
All, all day, oh yeah

You brighten up, my day
I'm happy you, my bae
You brighten up, my day
I'm happy you, my bae, my bae

You brighten up, my day
I'm happy you, my bae
You brighten up, my day
I'm happy you, my bae
my baby, my baby





I'll be calling you tonight
Cos you know I want to be around you
