Just blew me away
I ain't ever felt like this
Or ever found any words to say
How I feel when you're with me
Girl I need to let you know
So here it goes
Here I go
For the life of me
I just can't remember
Ever being one time ever
That you weren't on my mind
And for the life of me
Yeah baby i just can't see
My self my heart my soul not loving you
For the life of me
When I look at you tonight
It only lets me know
That I would be a great
If I ever let you go
So if you feel like I feel
I'll lean in for another kiss
'Cause girl you're it
For me you're in
For the life of me
I just can't remember
Ever being one time ever
That you weren't on my mind
And for the life of me
Yeah baby I just can't see
My self my heart my soul not loving you
For the life of me
For the life of me I don't know why
It's taking this long for me to say it just right
And baby tonight when I look in your eyes
Gonna lay it on the line
For the life of me
I just can't remembe
Ever being one time ever
That you weren't on my mind
And for the life of me
Yeah baby I just can't see
My self my heart my soul not loving you
For the life of me
For the life of me
Trent Tomlinson's song For the Life of Me is an expression of love and the overwhelming feeling that arises when you are with the person you love. The song speaks about the singer's inability to remember a single moment without his lover in his thoughts. The lyrics capture the intensity of his feelings when he's with his lover, and he describes how he feels like he has never experienced anything like this before. He talks about how much he loves being with his lover but struggles to find the right words to express his feelings. However, he doesn't want to lose this person who completes him.
In the second verse, the singer realizes that he would never be able to find anyone like his lover, and he would regret it if he ever let her go. So, he leans in for another kiss, and the lyrics emphasize the undeniable connection between them. The singer then makes a promise that he will never let go, even if it takes him some time to say everything right. The chorus repeats the sentiment from the first verse and emphasizes how the singer cannot see his life without his lover.
Overall, the song conveys a message of intense love and the need to hold onto the ones we love, no matter how hard it may be. The singer's emotions ring true, and anyone who has been in love can relate to the feeling. The lyrics and the music blend together seamlessly, resulting in a compelling and sincere expression of love.
