Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I (I) I (I)
Want (want) to (to)
Put (put) my (my)
Hands (on) you

I (I) I (I)
Want (want) to (to)
Put (put) my (my)
Hands (on) you

Baby when you hold me in space, we make a different shape
and when I was dying inside, you make me feel awake
So won't you just hold me
Make it forever that you and me will be together
Oh you know I'd love to see you one more time

It was so good seeing you last night
It's been a rough couple days so that was good timing
I never knew there was someone like you
One night I hope that we can make it all through

You got the style
You got the smile
Girl you make me laugh, yeah, it's been awhile
So I just wanna hold you now
Let me know when it's the right time, girl, yeah

And if I was your lover
Would you tell me I'm right when I'm wrong?
And if I was your lover
Would you stay and hold me all night long?
Cus darling I

I (I) I (I)
Want (want) to (ooo)
Put (put) my (my)
Hands (on) you
(and that's why I'm)

I (I) I (I)
Want (want) to (to)
(wooo)




Put (put) my (my)
Hands (on) (haha)
