Her
Thomas Headon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I allowed to care if I am looking at someone else?
And is it too wrong to like the fact she looks she's doing well?
Though we haven't spoken in a little while
It's clear how I could've fell in love
Though I seem pre-occupied
I'll always have the time
For her
No I shouldn't write it down but I don't know how to say
Every time we cross paths you make me feel some sort of way
Though some things have changed in the meantime
It's clear why I wanted to fall in love
Though I seem pre-occupied
I'll always have the time
For her





And when the days have passed and the time it doesn't come
I hope she knows I'm here and I'll wait until it does
