You Found Me
Wallace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ll tell the story of how I found you
Through the wilderness all around you
There was this thought I had to say to your face
And it helped me keep up the pace

Through a storm that turned me blue
Through the heels of my thick-soled shoes
I’d go through more than twice as much and be glad
If I could tell this thought I had

I’ve always known you’re the only one
You’re the only one for me
I’ve always known you’re the only one
You’re the only one for me

So cuddle close and whisper sweet nothings
You’re the only one for me
Kiss my cheeks, kiss my lips
Kiss me just cause you’re the only one for me

Now that you’ve heard my confession
May I follow up with a question?
How do you think that this next chapter will read?
That is, how happy will it be?

Don’t need no treasure, don’t need no palace
The marble floor leaves my feet callous
I far prefer a nice little home by the sea
Where you can tell me over tea..

I’ve always known you’re the only one
You’re the only one for me
I’ve always known you’re the only one
You’re the only one for me

So cuddle close and whisper sweet nothings
You’re the only one for me




Kiss my cheeks, kiss my lips
Kiss me just cause you’re the only one for me
