I Like You
The Senate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just to think
We've still got a ways to go
Oh I've known you all my life
And yet there's still so much that I don't know
Are the cards just right
Should I take a leap of faith
Oh do I need to slow down
Should I take all of this day by day

In the end
When the winter's on its way
Oh you always keep me warm
Oh you always had the heart to say

I'll love you then
When you need a lover when you need a friend
I'll love you then
When you need a lover when you need a friend
I'll love you then
When you need a lover when you need a friend
I'll love you then
When you need a lover when you need a friend
When you need a lover when you need a friend

Just to think
We've still got a ways to go
Oh I've known you all my life
And yet there's still so much that I don't know
Are the cards just right
Should I take a leap of faith
Oh you always keep me warm
Oh you always had the heart to say

I'll love you then
When you need a lover when you need a friend
I'll love you then
When you need a lover when you need a friend
I'll love you then
When you need a lover when you need a friend
I'll love you then
When you need a lover when you need a friend




When you need a lover when you need a friend
When you need a lover when you need a friend
