Girl
The Tuesday Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a little cold in paradise tonight
Love faded
I'm finding new forms, I'll ride it out
It's fine for now
Then you come along and I cry
Liberated
I'm seeing clearly now
There's no turning back and I'm overwhelmed

Do you really want to set the night on fire
You're my only way out
Do you really want to turn your life around again
You know you're my last chance

Can you feel my, can you feel my, can you feel my tears they won't dry
Can you feel my, can you feel my teardrops of the loneliest girl
The loneliest girl

Can you really love with a broken heart
In the cold rain
I'm giving it a try, I'll let it fly
You can count me in
So when the night falls I'll be on your side
These eyes don't lie
'Cause my defeated heart's got nothing to hide
It's my only vice

Can you feel my, can you feel my, can you feel my tears they won't dry
Can you feel my, can you feel my, can you feel my tears they won't dry
Can you feel my, can you feel my, can you feel my tears they won't dry
Can you feel my, can you feel my teardrops of the loneliest girl
The loneliest girl

Keep it, keep it close to your heart and it won't go
Keep it, keep it close and then you'll start to grow
