Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating in the open
Hoping my words will soak in
Will you be my valentine
I won't forget your bright blue eyes
I Won't forget your perfect smile
The way we danced at nite was wild
I won't forget u girl
You were my first kiss, so outta this world
Some part of me still kind of wants you
And idk if my feelings for you are true
But what u said hurt me
Idk if I can go thru that again
Cause even tho it hurts I still wanna be your friend
And even if I didn't show after what I said
I still had feelings for u cause I still really cared
At the moment I'm desperate
For some love and affection
Did u read my message?
It said that "I love u" u know girl I meant it
Be my valentine even for a second
Roses in the ocean
Floating in the open
Hoping my words will soak in
Will you be my valentine
I won't forget your bright blue eyes
I Won't forget your perfect smile
The way we danced at nite was wild
U made me happy when I was down
