Fatima Lyrics

[Chorus: Russ, Russ & Melanie Faye]
I didn't know, I then you saw you up close
I knew you were the one for me
I came a long way, I could do this all day
I don't ever want to leave
I, I
Found you, didn't know that I was lookin'
Thank God, I done turned around back there
Otherwise I wouldn't have my baby
I feel like the wind blew you to me (Yeah)

[Verse 1: Russ, Russ & Melanie Faye, Melanie Faye]
Didn't see you comin', I thought I had all this mapped out (Mapped out, yeah, ayy-ayy-ayy)
Somethin' told me that I shouldn't fight it, shouldn't back out (Yeah, ayy-ayy-ayy)
When I'm with you, time doesn't exist, you
Know I can't resist you
Baby, you're my fire
When it's cold outside, you
Know that I'm not leavin'
You know I'm right beside you
(I'm right beside you, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Russ, Russ & Melanie Faye]
I didn't know, I then you saw you up close
I knew you were the one for me
I came a long way, I could do this all day
I don't ever want to leave
I, I
Found you, didn't know that I was lookin'
Thank God, I done turned around back there
Otherwise I wouldn't have my baby
I feel like the wind blew you to me (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2: Russ]
Feelin' like I fell in love with you before I even found you (Found you)
You feel like the only woman in the world when I'm around you (Around you)
Tell me how you so patient (Patient)
So wise, why your soul feels ancient?
This love isn't that love, this is maktub, it was written and it feels so amazin'
Everything, everything led me to you (Everything, everything led me to you)
Everything made sense when I met you (Everything made sense when I met you)
Ain't nobody comin' close to you (Nah)
Celebrate you daily, make a toast to you (Toast)
I don't gotta worry 'cause I know I'm safe
Met you on my journey so I know it's fate

[Chorus: Russ, Russ & Melanie Faye, Melanie Faye]
I didn't know, I then you saw you up close
I knew you were the one for me (Yeah, yeah)
I came a long way, I could do this all day
I don't ever want to leave (I don't wanna leave)
I, I
Found you, didn't know that I was lookin'
Thank God, I done turned around back there
Otherwise I wouldn't have my baby
I feel like the wind blew you to me

What did Russ say about "Fatima"?
Genius Answer

I meet my dream girl, and now I’m even more comfortable with my unhealthy state. I must be really killing it to attract such a beautiful woman and such a beautiful life (on the surface). This song further sends me into that state of just drifting further and further away from a path to self-mastery. Ultimate la la land and fools paradise.
