When You Met Me Lyrics

Lyrics to When You Met Me
Here you are, you turned up again
I wasn’t looking but there’s no way to pretend
That what’s coming in aren’t waves of the same
I’m swimming out for the break

Remind me again what you think
Because I feel like you’re chasing someone that doesn’t exist
I gotta let you tangle yourself on your own
I’m stepping out of the frame

Do you feel like love is an answer
I thought I did but now I see that it’s a question
It opens, it starts
And it’s dreamlike in a world where everything is fixed
But lovе exists in its own place
That’s how I felt whеn you met me

You know what, I think I grew up
‘Cos I know that I would never ever be enough
I’m not delusional and I’m not stuck
Maybe I’m just learning when to give a fuck
‘Cos rejection is still a bitter pill
There’s an emptiness that I know I won’t fill
Until I learn how I resurrect
Easier

Do you feel like love is an answer
I thought I did but now I see that it’s a question
It opens, it starts
And it’s dreamlike in a world where everything is fixed
But love exists in its own place
That’s how I felt when you met me

This is old, at least old as me
But I can’t be for you what you want me to be
I know that you want what you think you see
But now I’m in front of you the mirage disappears
‘Cos I mistook love for admiration
And I won’t ever make that mistake again
Cos what you want is just a canvas for your colours
Don’t try to paint me like you paint the others
I’m standing here, no longer elevated
What you see is what you get, not what you created
And it used to be enough, but now it’s not
‘Cos I’m not looking on the outside for what I want
And what I want is still what it was when you met me

I’m going to keep it high, keep fuelling the fire
Out on the wire, higher and higher
Nurture my heart, feel when it starts
Not going to break, not going to wait for ya
If I’m feeling low, I’m gonna know
To keep in the flow, I’ll let it go, just let it flow
With an easy mind, I’ll never tire
Of the good things
