About You
The Fall-Outs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a flower needs the rain
You ever want love
But you never knew its name
D'You ever hear the thunder
Come rolling through the skies
D'you ever wait up all night
And these hot summer nights
I never seem to sleep
I can still smell her perfume
Hanging heavy and deep
How my body burns
Each waking hour
I gotta cool off
I need another cold shower
And if I had a wish
I'd wish it on a day
When I could take you with me
And we could get away
Jump into a car
Step on-board a train
Sail across an ocean
Fly an aeroplane
And I love everything
Everything about you
Yes I do
And I love everything
Everything about you
Every single thing
And boredom reigns
Like a king around here
Nothing ever changes
Cause change breeds fear
There gossip and scandal
And its big time news
Everyone has opinion
A privilege they abuse
They talk about their neighbors
They talk about their friends
Their bickering, their bigotry
It never seems to end
Take my hand and follow me
I'll give you life, give you love, set you free
And I love everything
Everything about you
Yes I do
And I love everything
Everything about you
Every single thing
D'you ever need love
Like a flower needs the rain
I give you life
And I give you love
I'll give you everything
You ever dreamed of
Cause I love everything
Everything about you
Yes I do
And I love everything
Everything about you
Yes I do
And I love everything
Everything about you
Yes I do
And I love everything
Everything about you
Every single thing
And I love everything
Everything about you
Yes I do
And I love everything
Everything about you
Everything
