Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I, I needed to figure it out
We don't have to say so long
I can come and say hello
Anytime you hit my phone
But I can tell you now
We're making it work I know somehow
I can see it now feel it in my bones I know
Cause maybe I love
Baby, I love you
So maybe I love you
You know I
I wanna tell you you know why
I wanna tell you
You know I
You know why
We don't have to say so long
I can come and say hello
Anytime you hit my phone
But I can tell you now

I can see it now feel it in my bones I know
Baby, can I say that I love you?
Cause maybe I love
Baby, I love you
