Could I Be Somebody
rei brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these one way signs, oh
Left them all behind, yeah
Been looking for you in the dark
But don't even know what we are
I try to shout but it comes out a hush, oh
'Cause I don't think that I could take the crush, oh
If only I could reach you, we could touch
I'm falling from the sky, I'm burning up

Baby, you pull me through
Maybe you always knew
That I would find your clues
Your voice in my ear, it's drawing me near
All of these different hues
I feel your presence move
I follow your perfume
I waited for years for you to appear
Could I be somebody, could I be somebody you love?
Could I be somebody, could I be somebody
Baby, you pull me through
Maybe you always knew
I feel your presence move
I waited for years for you to appear

When our worlds collide, oh
And it gets so bright, oh
And nothing can tear us apart
I finally know what we are
'Cause loving you feels like I'm waking up, oh
You're the only one I wanna touch, oh
Sometimes I get too scared, I feel too much
If I could reach you it would be enough

Baby, you pull me through
Maybe you always knew
That I would find your clues
Your voice in my ear, it's drawing me near
All of these different hues
I feel your presence move
I follow your perfume
I waited for years for you to appear
Could I be somebody, could I be somebody you love?
Could I be somebody, could I be somebody
Baby, you pull me through
Maybe you always knew




I feel your presence move
I waited for years for you to appear
