All I Need to Know
The Murmurs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I need to know is that I think
You are finally aware
All I need to know is that my feet are finally in the air
And we will walk together
We will walk together

I am sinking in love with you
I'm swimming in the sound
And I'll let you know if I let go
Cause I just won't be around
No I just won't be around

All I need to know is when we touch
Are you trembling for my taste?
All I need to know is
I am trembling every moment that we waste
I am waving my heart so fast
I'm beginning to fly
I am in the clouds
I'm flying and I've never felt so high

All I need to know is if you leave
Will you never come again?
All I need to know is I have sworn
I'd never do this again
I am here now
I'm in so deep
My heads above the wall
I may walk with you
But I'll be there to catch me if I fall

I am sinking in love with you
I'm swimming in the sound
And I'll let you know if I let go
Cause I just won't be around




No, I just won't be around
No, I just won't be around
