When I'm With You
Victoria IX Lyrics

There was no big conundrum
Nothing complex or difficult happened to me

No epiphany for me
I had no sudden, profound realization

I had no sudden flash to tell me what my life would be
I didn't have a moment of clarity regarding my future

But in a passing moment
However, in a brief moment

I looked and I saw me
I saw my true self

With you in a state I thought I'd never see
I experienced a state of being with you that I never thought possible

A state of vulnerability, of honesty, of being free, of being me
I felt vulnerable, honest, free, and true to myself

I think that I like me more
I believe that I have a higher opinion of myself

When I'm with you
When I am in your company

Well I've noticed quite the pattern
I have observed a consistent trend

There's a lightness and an ease
There is a feeling of being unburdened and at ease

That saturates my laugh when you're standing next to me
It affects even my laughter when you are beside me

Maybe in a passing moment
Perhaps in another brief moment

You and I became we
You and I became a couple

Us a team
We are a unit working together

My laugh, my joy, my peace
I experience happiness and contentment

They come so easily
These emotions come naturally

When I'm with you
When I am in your presence

Every human has his flaws
All people have imperfections

Every body tainted to the bone
Even our bodies are inherently flawed

To the soul
Even to our inner selves

I'm no exception to these laws
I am not exempt from these realities

But when you come around
However, when you are with me

My good's pulled out
My positive qualities are brought to the fore

My love pours out
My capacity for love is amplified

When you come around
When you are in my presence

Mmm ooh
A sound indicating pleasure or satisfaction
