I gave up a long time ago Trying to find love TV told me it was like the movies But it never was I couldn't beat it or join it So I just avoided it Come what may Then you came And I wanna hold you in my arms I wanna let you break my heart I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay And I know you'll bring me to my knees I know you're way out of my league I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay But I want you anyway It's so self-betrayal of me I'm about to say all the things Swore I'd never say But my heart's in my mind Drawing lines I can't erase And all of a sudden All that wasn't So beautifully is When we kiss And I wanna hold you in my arms I wanna let you break my heart I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay And I know you'll bring me to my knees I know you're way out of my league I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay But I want you anyway The way the light hangs off you I never stood a chance See you changed every plan I had with one glance And I wanna hold you in my arms I wanna let you break my heart I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay And I know you'll bring me to my knees I know you're way out of my league I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay But I want you anyway 💕💕💕
I'm not sure what the inspiration for this song was, but for me personally I can't help but think of my relationship with God (because I'm a Christian). I know there is no way I can ever be worthy enough for Him, but He loves me anyway.
I have listened to this song several times now over the past couple of days. I love it more each time. Fabulous song, Jon. Much success with this and the new album!
Your passion for your music is evident in EVERY song I have heard you sing. But this one... is the BEST of your best. Thanks for making your music. It fills me up. Makes my soul smile.
very underrated. Your talent is real and earned. You are an inspiring musician, seem to be a dedicated father, and an adoring husband. You give ME and my family hope for the future of the American Dream... where hard work, talent, and dedication to your art is able to support your lovely family. But, best of all... that it allows you to be WITH your wife as much as possible... raising your daughters TOGETHER. Teaching your girls the value of FAMILY. That music is important. Your Art is important... But that you are always going to try to make it back home to Amy and to them, because THEY are the MOST important part of your life. Thank you, Jon McL, for the inspiration you are to all of us, who also choose that raising our families ... INSTEAD OF the pursuit of exorbitant wealth at ALL COSTS is the best for America.
Well I like this girl but she likes someone else. Most of my friends knew it but I always tell them not to tell her because I dont want her to be awkward being with me knowing I like her. I even wrote almost a hundred poems for her and I let her read one of it.
