something bout you

from john & the motive by John Rankin

	/

lyrics

let me start by saying
never started out this way
but something bout you

heals all my latest scars
paints the walls of my heart
something bout you

makes me want to contemplate you
makes me want to learn your nature
makes me want to never take you out of mind
makes me want to feel you over
makes me want to love you sober
makes me want to just talk all night

the new you got a lot (x3)
to discuss dear

looking at you with my head cocked to the left
baby won't you stop stop stealing my breath
words I'm fumbling, thoughts are jumbled in two parts of mind
oh, wish I could stay a little longer
girl, don't you wonder
what we could do with all night

the new you got a lot
to confess here
