Tiga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you more than ever
You see the change in me
And nothing's new forever
One step and a little touch
Can change the way you feel tonight (Oh Oh Oh)
One word can break your heart
But one kiss can make it right (Oh Oh Oh)
To dream our dreams without a trace
Of all the broken things
That's what I need tonight
What I need tonight
What I need tonight
What I need tonight
Cause anyone can be replaced
And any fool can tell you
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Youth don't fail me now
I need just one last favor
One song and another dance
To let me feel in love tonight (Oh Oh)
To dream our dreams without a trace
Of all the broken things
That's what I need tonight
What I need tonight
What I need tonight
What I need tonight
Cause anyone can be replaced
And any fool can tell you
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
To dream our dreams without a trace
Of all the broken things
That's what I need tonight
What I need tonight
What I need tonight
What I need tonight
Cause anyone can be replaced
And any fool can tell you
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Don't wake me
Please don't wake me
Don't wake me
Please don't wake me
Don't wake me
Please don't wake me
Don't wake me
Please don't wake me
Youth don't fail me now
You need it more than ever
I feel the change in you
And nothing lasts forever
