lyrics

Island Girl V1 Your eyes sparkle like waves on the ocean  Your smile is warmer than the setting sun You dance and you're pulling me closer So hot (so hot), girl, you’re burning me up PC But your distant kiss sends chills down my spine Show some emotion let me get inside (whoa)  CH My ship, your shore, ocean in the middle I’ll bear your storms if you open up a little You're not alone No one should have to be an island, girl Oh oh 2x V2 I'd give all the treasure in world just hold you  I wish my fingers were the breeze in your hair  I can't think of what would happen if I never get to know you  I'm begging (begging) for you to take me there  PC Your heart is uncharted so wild and untamed  Lay down your guard now don't be afraid  Chorus:  Bridge Hook: Undiscovered lovers we are castaways castaways  Caught inside a perfect storm with no escape, no escape Undiscovered lovers we're are castaways castaways  Caught inside a perfect storm with no escape, no escape Chorus: Oh Oh 4x

lyrics
V1 Stir my heart  Seize my mind  We'll hang like stars  In the darkest night  PC I'm only stuck in my head only stuck in my head I know you got the key  'Cause with every kiss I feel a little more free CH I don't how I got off the ground   Maybe your love is levitation Don't let me go Don't let me down Baby you're touch is such a sweet salvation  Oh Oh You got me hovering, hovering  Oh Oh  hovering hovering  Verse 2:  All my life  I've been held down But tonight  I'm busting out  PC Ooh you got me walking on air got me walking on air  Without a set of strings  Ooh never been so high never felt so free  CH BR Hook:   I don't want to know, I don't want to know Don't let me go, Don't let go, Don't let down  CH

IM4U VERSE 1 A thousand walls of stone are built around my heart You know the way that reaches to the deepest part Awakening my senses, my defenses wash away And you are breaking through with every move you make CHORUS I am free, I am new I am unlocked, I am unglued I am fire, I am rain Overwhelmed and unafraid In your arms I am breathless In my heart I am restless For you, I am for you VERSE 2 You have a way with me that cannot be explained And I’m held captive when you’re whispering my name Intoxicated, liberated in your arms I can’t help but build my world around your heart CHORUS BRIDGE Tonight we’ll ignite the dark Nothing to hide, as I unleash my heart CHORUS OUT

Verse:   You fell into the water  I was there to pull you out  We fell into each other  It was love that I thought I found Pre-chorus:  I feel it more and more each day  When we kiss you pull away  Maybe your intention Was never to stay  Chorus: I don't wanna be your stepping stone  Here for awhile and then you go I don't wanna be just a fling While she gets your diamond ring Is it so much to want your love I don't wanna be the rebound who Makes it all better for you I am not here just for fun Til you move on to the next one * It's no good for me I won't be  Your stepping stone Verse 2: I need a bit of love and affection Someone who hangs out with my friends Watch my favorite movies And hold me when I cry at the end Pre-Chorus 2: But I feel that when I'm in your arms It's all your head and not your heart  Maybe we were over from the start  Chorus: Bridge : Stone No  Could it be time to let you go Chorus:

Are you telling me it’s… Too Late for love, too late for us Every second I get closer just to STOP And hear you say… “You’re too Late, Too Late….”
