Walls
Tera Kòrá Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

Just the other day I was feeling down
Recently, I was feeling depressed
Started to get crazy cos nobody around
The lack of companionship made me feel insane
I just wanted someone to just hold it down
I needed someone to support me
I was just about leave town
I was on the verge of leaving the place
Done with all the gray skies
Depressed and hopeless
So in need of a high tide
I needed a new beginning
To wash away the pain
To heal from the emotional pain I was experiencing
I been hiding behind my smile
I was masking my sadness with a fake smile
And I can remember
I vividly remember
All my walls was up
I had built emotional walls around me
Never expected
I didn't anticipate
You would pick up
You would answer and respond
When I called you up
When I contacted you
You brighten up, my day
You make my day better
I'm happy you, my bae
I'm glad you're my significant other
My baby
A term of endearment
I know this ain't random,
This isn't a coincidence
It was bound to be
It was destined to happen
And there's something special bout ya
There's something unique and remarkable about you
You make me want to be around you
You make me crave your company
All, all day, oh yeah
I want to spend the whole day with you
I'll be calling you tonight
I will contact you later tonight
Cos you know I want to be around you
Because you know I desire your presence
