Flow Lyrics

[Refrain]
Ooh baby mm
When you hold me
Oh oh
When you hold me the sound

[Verse 1]
Is it possible I could feel this cool
I could really love you the way I do
Is it possible I would feel this good
I could really love you the way I do

[Chorus]
See me (within the light)
Flowing (take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I'm in the light)
You cover (pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me

[Verse 2]
I feel a love light rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just creeps over me
Over me
[Chorus]
See me (within the light)
Flowing (take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I'm in the light)
You cover (pull me to you)
The waves rush over me

[Refrain]
Ooh baby mm
When you hold me
Oh oh
When you hold me closer

[Interlude]
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go

[Bridge]
Take up your love
Take up your love
Take up your love
And come to me
This love's not a liar
To cold it's a fire
I'm on the run
And it's a comfort to me
I won't let it go
Take up your love
Take up your love
Take up your love
And come to me
This love's not a liar
To cold it's a fire
I'm on the run
And it's a comfort to me
[Outro]
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
