Cruisin Lyrics


You say you wanna love me
'Cause that's what I need
But I ain't sure
If that's what you're here for
You say I can trust you
And I wanna believe
I hear your words but my heart needs to seeI can't see myself
Waking in the morning with someone else
But I can't tell if it's real I need to knowSo I'm cruisin' in the evening breeze
To clear my mind
Take my time so I can breathe
Cruisin' in the evening breeze
To clear my mind
Take my time so I can breatheIn my past I made mistakes because
I was drunk on love too quick to trust
Jumped in too easy
Yet we feel like we could be an us
But my fear is strong though I've seen no wrong

I hope I'm not dreamingI can't see myself
Waking in the morning with someone else
But I can't tell if it's real I need to knowSo I'm cruisin' in the evening breeze
To clear my mind
Take my time so I can breathe
Cruisin' in the evening breeze
To clear my mind
Take my time so I can breatheYou seem like you're on time
You feel like a good guy
You make my mind wander
We're laughing all the while
You're holding out your hand
You're such a lion man
But I'm scaredSo I'm cruisin' in the evening breeze
To clear my mind
Take my time so I can breathe
Cruisin' in the evening breeze
To clear my mind
Take my time so I can breathe
