I've loved this song from the first moment I heard it!
This is called "You Give Me Something" from the brilliant Grammy winner James Morrison. Gosh! You got to love his sultry,soulful, raspy vocals that echo the emotions in this song he penned.
And speaking of the song, the lyrics are very brilliantly written. The words fully speak of the topic --- a relationship that developed into love whilst the persona was unaware.
Just what words am I talking about? Well, these:
You only to stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
Now I've gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart
You already waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean
I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart
But it might me a second too late
And the words that I could never say
Gonna come out anyway
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
