lyrics

There've been days where the sun don't shine
There've been hours where I lose my mind
But I know, you are the light to my reason

There've been moments where it just don't make sense
There've been words that give me a glimpse
But I know, you are the life to my feelings

You got all of me
You got all I need
It's true

You got all of me
You got all of me
You do

Something 'bout this Friday night makes me want to break free
From all the things that make me
And I want to take you too

Would you mind if you and I found a place that makes us feel small
And let go of it all

You got all of me
You got all I need
You do

You got all of me
I got all you need
It's true
