Move My Way
The Vamps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake to find you're already up now
Pull back the curtain
Smell the sweet refreshment
Of a brand new day

Well out of bed at 11:15
Took in the perfect serenity you give me
Every day

The telephone rings out
Now no worry you're safe against the wall
And listen now

Do do, do do, do do do
You wanna
You wanna move my way
And baby I don't wanna change

Should I should I should I, should I should
I wanna
I wanna feel this way
So tell me why can't
We just stay the same

Now I'm head over heels and breaking my back
Reaching for once last chance
Take it away with one last dance
I promise, tonight's your dream

Now I don't know the words don't know the place
But I'm sure that every moment I'll make it yours
'Cause you're the only one I know
Feeling this way

The telephone rings out now
But don't worry you're safe against the wall
Oh and listen now

Do do, do do, do do do
You wanna
You wanna move my way
And baby I don't wanna change

Should I should I should I, should I should
I wanna
I wanna feel this way
So tell me why can't
We just stay the same

Do do, do do, do do do
You wanna
You wanna move my way
And baby I don't wanna change, no

Should I should I should I, should I should
I wanna
I wanna feel this way
So tell me why can't
We just stay the same, no

Do do, do do, do do do
You wanna
You wanna move my way
And baby I don't wanna change

Should I should I should I, should I should
I wanna
I wanna feel this way




So tell me why can't
We just stay the same
