Someone Like You
The Gufs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything that's in your heart
And see if you still love me
And all this time you've been wanting more
And everything you're asking for is something I can give
Let's close our eyes together
And wish away the doubt
Someone who makes me stronger
Someone who makes me try
Someone that makes me feel I'm gonna be alright
Someone who has uncovered what I'm all about
Someone that I can't see myself living without
Someone like you
Let's take it slow so we don't burn it out
Or try to spend some time without
And hope the fire grows
All you want is everything I need
Standing here in front of me
Never wanting to let go
Hold on a little stronger
Let's figure this thing out
I don't want to live without
Someone who makes me stronger
Someone who makes me try
Someone that makes me feel I'm gonna be alright
Someone who has uncovered what I'm all about
Someone that I can't see myself living without
And I've been falling
Breaking into pieces
Picking up the reasons
We're falling apart
And I know we're getting tired of keeping this together
But when I said forever
I only meant these words for you
For you
For you
For you
Someone who makes me stronger
Someone who makes me try
Someone that makes me feel I'm gonna be alright
Someone who has uncovered what I'm all about
Someone that I can't see myself living without
Someone like you
