lyrics

I only wanted to be somebody to you
And now
Oh now
Now that I am

I’ve packed away all of my worrying
Banished all my doubts and anguish
I have found myself a straight line
A line that always leads me straight
Back into your arms

I only wanted to be your person
And now, now that it’s true
Now that it’s real
Now that it’s happening for me

I haven’t a reason left in me to wonder
I’ve put a lock on my baggage
I have found myself a straight line
A line that always leads me straight
Back into your arms

And the feeling is so right
Oh the feeling is so, so right
I’m holding on to a straight line
I’m holding on to that straight line

Cause the feeling is so right
Yes the feeling feels so right
I hope it never
I hope it never
I hope it never
It never fades away
