Follow You
Zuli Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doesn't mean much to me now.
Thought it would, wish it could but I've lost touch somehow.
My whole world's turned upside down.
What to do without you I've been freaking out.
Even though I know you've been lost before.
You had that thought(?) you're all I've got and I don't have a choice.
My voice so shy, couldn't shake my mistakes god knows I've tried.
And I won't wait I won't deny,

Since you're gone I've been numb, I've been paralyzed.
Even though you know I've been lost before.
You had that thought(?) you're all I've got.
So I don't want to know, no I won't stop.
At least we're not alone, but who's to say we're not.
I want a reason to follow you.

Even though I know you've been lost before.

You had that thought(?),
You're all I've got, I want a reason to follow you.
