Toby Mac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we good? Cool

My whole life I’ve wondered how
Just wonderin’ how I could turn around
It’s over now, yea

I’mma leave myself fresh melodies
Wanna be in Your beautiful symphony
It’s over now

You sing to me and my heart comes to life
Beating for you every time (it’s beating beating)
And how ‘bout I hear you oh I love the way
Your chorus gets stuck in my mind

Like the lyrics to my favourite song
You stick with me all day long
And when I’ve reached the end
I wanna hear it again

Like the lyrics to my favourite song
You stick with me all day long
And when I’ve reached the end
I wanna hear it again

Well he already makes it so surprising
Like raindrops when the sun is shining
It’s beautiful to me

So you flip my words and change the tempo
And somehow you just make it simple
So beautiful to see

You sing to me and my heart comes to life
Beating for you every time (it’s beating beating)
And how ‘bout I hear you oh I love the way
Your chorus gets stuck in my mind

Like the lyrics to my favourite song
You stick with me all day long
And when I’ve reached the end
I wanna hear it again

Like the lyrics to my favourite song
You stick with me all day long
And when I’ve reached the end
I wanna hear it again

It’s beating beating
It’s beating beating

I am man in need
You are my remedy
I love the way that you sing to me sing to me
Your soothing melodies have got me listening
I can’t wait to hear you sing to me sing to me

I am man in need
You are my remedy
I love the way that you sing to me sing to me
Your soothing melodies my heart is listening
I can’t wait to hear you sing to me sing to me

Like the lyrics to my favourite song
You stick with me all day long
And when I’ve reached the end
I wanna hear it again

Like the lyrics to my favourite song
You stick with me all day long
And when I’ve reached the end
I wanna hear it again

My favourite song
All day long
I wanna hear it again

My favourite song
All day long
I wanna hear it again

My favourite song




All day long
I wanna hear it again
