Something About You
The Foxes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something about you, that makes me feel that you might be the one,
I've never met you but you're a model of what God intended.
Long have I waited, killing time by killing others dreams,
You are the other half of my school book painted butterfly.

Follow your heart. Don't worry about tomorrow as I'll make today the best you've ever seen
Follow your heart. Don't worry about tomorrow as I'll be there for you...
So far I've wasted, so much of what I've got to give on others,
And I will show you, so much of what your childhood dreams were missing,
Don't be scared – 'love's not love which alters when it alteration finds',
And now I've found you, I'm never going to let you slip away.

Sea food, drinking, fighting, singing, dancing, watch the sun...





Follow your heart. Don't worry about tomorrow as I'll make today the best you've ever seen
Follow your heart. Don't worry about tomorrow as I'll be there for you...
