Lingers

I made some pretty significant edits to the lyrics in this one.


I never look behind, once I’ve said goodbye
My feet never stop when they hit the ground
Reminiscing has never been my thing
But when I think of you, yeah it spins me round and round

     CHORUS
     Something about you, girl, just lingers
     Something about you, girl, just lingers
     You’ve been rolling round my head so long
     Like the chorus of my favorite song
     Going on and on and on and on
     On and on and on and on

     You make my heart pick up a beat, and it lingers
     I get caught in your melody, and it lingers
     In my mind, every line rhymes with your name
     Cuz it’s the only word I wanna sing, yeah, it lingers

Well, I recall the magic in your smile
I’ve sure got nothing like that now
You left a lonely hole punched though my chest
I’ve gotta find a way to get you back somehow, somehow

     REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Oh, I’ve been looking so far up ahead to find it
I never guessed love’d catch me from behind

     SHORT CHORUS
     You make my heart pick up a beat, and it lingers
     I get caught in your melody, and it lingers
     In my mind, every line rhymes with your name
     Cuz it’s the only word I wanna sing, yeah, it lingers

     In my mind, every line rhymes with your name
     Cuz it’s the only word I wanna sing, yeah, it lingers


Below are the lyrics as posted on March 18, 2015:

I never look behind, once I’ve said goodbye
My feet never stop when they hit the ground
Reminiscing has never been my thing
But when I think of you, yeah it spins me round and round

    CHORUS
    Something about you, girl, lingers
    Something about you, girl, lingers
    You’ve been rolling round my head so long
    Like the chorus of my favourite song
    Going on and on and on and on
    On and on and on and on
    Yeah, something about you, girl, lingers
    Something about you, girl, lingers

Well I can’t recall why we parted ways
And it don’t matter much right now
It seems I just can’t get you off my mind
I gotta find a way to get you back somehow, somehow

    REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Well, I’ve been looking so far up ahead to find it
I never guessed you’d catch me from behind

    Something about you, girl, lingers
    Something about you, girl, lingers
    You’ve been rolling round my head so long
    Like the chorus of my favourite song
    Going on and on and on and on
    On and on and on and on
