Lyrics

Potential

When we are in colour
In ecstasy, we're spinning through
We call that one heaven
You knew I wanted you to make that move

Once upon a time in passion
I would blindly look the other way
I would go numb to your reaction
But I've been tryin' to find a new way

You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Not gonna talk, keep it confidential
Nights with you are becoming essential (nobody, you're like nobody e-else)
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Don't wanna stop, wanna love, I'm meant to
Nights with you are becoming essential (nobody, you're like nobody e-else, else)

Make me wait on this forever
I didn't mean to suddenly retreat
Have you gone found somewhere better?
If you don't walk away, I won't walk away

But if you pull back, I'll take a step back
Don't think I can call for back up
Telling you now, I'm telling you now

You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Not gonna talk, keep it confidential
Nights with you are becoming essential (nobody, you're like nobody e-else)
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Don't wanna stop, wanna love, I'm meant to
Nights with you are becoming essential (nobody, you're like nobody e-else, else)

(You're like nobody, you're like nobody e-else, else)
(You're like nobody, you're like nobody e-else)

Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you

Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you

You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Not gonna talk, keep it confidential
Nights with you are becoming essential (nobody, you're like nobody e-else)
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Don't wanna stop, wanna love, I'm meant to
Nights with you are becoming essential (nobody, you're like nobody e-else, else)

Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
