Feel What I Feel

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shake a hand
Joke around when you're under
Doesn't take that much to do it
Sing a song when you're down
Cause I know that you wonder
What is coming over me
Gotta let it out
Swing your head around
Tell em' what you're all about
Just believe it and get with it
And when you hear the sound
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I was made for this music?
When I hear it take a ride and I lose it
All my worries step aside
When I hear a simple melody
Let me in like the wind
Let me take it higher
Make you feel what I feel
I'll be that song that you play over and over
Make you feel what I feel
De ah da
Can you feel me
De ah da
Can you feel me
See I don't mind
I don't hide
Because cause I'm open
What I gotta do to prove it
Walk a mile in my shoes
Will you dare take a journey
With me is where you wanna be
Don't you keep it in
Gotta let it out
Swing your head around
Tell em' what you're all about
Just believe it and get with it
And when you hear the sound
[Chorus]
