Wolf and Willow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't know what to do about it
I've been scared to say it out loud
So I'll just get it out
I think that I love you
I think that I do
I don't know what love is
I think it might be you
I wonder I do
Now that I've said it
I'm not sure I love you
Mmmmmmm
Now how do I tell you
I've already said the words
Fake words hurt not one but two,
So I ask you, do you really really
Think that you love me
You said the words fast
One time before bed
Do you regret that
Now that you've said it
Is it actually true
Or were we just young young stupid fools
I think that I love you
I think that I do
I don't know what love is
I think it might be you
How will you take it
I wonder I do
Now that I've said it
I'm not sure I love you
Ohhhhhh
