About You
Tom Ferry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I missed my stop again just now cos
I was thinking bout u
And there’s only one song
In my head and
It’s this one about u

You infiltrate my wake and my sleep
My strong and my weak

So come over
Come over
Cos tonight I won’t breathe
Unless you’re here with me
Might sound dramatic but

I
Only think about you
About you and
I, I
Only think about you
Only think about you

I’m late again to meet my friends cos
I was thinkin bout you
And when we don’t talk it’s like the whole world ends cos
It revolves around you

You infiltrate my wake and my sleep
My strong and my weak
So come over
Come over
Cos tonight I won’t breathe
Unless you’re here with me
It might sound dramatic but

I
Only think about you
About you and
I, I
Only think about you
Only think about you
Refrain;
Only think about you
Only think a-
Only think a-
Only think about you
It Might sound dramatic

Only think about you
Only think a-
Only think a-
Only think about you

Everything you do
Everything you see
Is about you, I- I

Every day of the week
Every night of my sleep
I think about you, I -I

Everything you do
Everything you see
Is about you, I- I

Every day of the week
Every night of my sleep
I think about you, I –
Only think about you

I
Only think about you
About you and
I, I
Only think about you

(I think about you)
Only think about you
