Before You Go
The Common Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Want you to love me before you leave
Let me hold you before you go
Just remember the time we shared
And remember you touched my soul
We donยดt know where life will take us
Iยดll hold my breath and be patient
So wonยดt you love me before you leave
Every moment with you pretty perfect for me
And baby youยดre telling me that
We could never be and now I'm like
Cool it down, cool it down, take a minute
You say you have to go
But yesterday your heart was in it my love
Oh woah let me say what I need to say

Want you to love me before you leave
Let me hold you before you go
Just remember the times we shared
And remember you touched my soul
We donยดt know where life will take us
Iยดll hold my breath and be patient
So wonยดt you love me before you leave
And let me hold you before you
Go oh woah, oh woah
Let me hold you before you
Go oh woah, oh woah

Donยดt forget what we got
No it canยดt be replaced
One moment we're holding hands
And you leave without a trace
Itยดs got me like cool it down, cool it down
Take a minute you say you have to go
But yesterday your heart was in it my love
Oh woah oh let me say what I need to say

Want you to love me before you leave
Let me hold you before you go
Just remember the times we shared
And remember you touched my soul
We donยดt know where life will take us
Iยดll hold my breath and be patient
So wonยดt you love me before you leave
And let me hold you before you go oh woah
Oh woah
And let me hold you before you go oh woah
Oh woah

You know that I'll love ya as hard as I try
Iยดll never get over your baby blue eyes
You know that I love ya as hard as I try
Iยดll never get over your baby blue eyes
Cool it down, cool it down take a minute
You say you have to go
But yesterday your heart was in it my love
Oh woah let me say what I need to say

Want you to love me before you leave
Let me hold you before you go
Just remember the times we shared
And remember you touched my soul
We donยดt know where life will take us
Iยดll hold my breath and be patient
So wonยดt you love me before you leave
And let me hold you before you go oh woah
Oh woah




And let me hold you before you go oh woah
Oh woah let me hold you before you go
