Song Analysis

   "Make It To Me"

My mind runs away to you

With the thought I hope you'll see

Can't see where it's wandered to

But I know where it wants to be

I'm waiting patiently though time is moving slow

I have one vacancy and I wanted you to know that

You're the one designed for me

A distant stranger that I will complete

I know you're out there we're meant to be

So keep your head up and make it to me

And make it to me

So sick of this lonely air

It seems such a waste of breath

So much that I need to say

So much to get off my chest

I'm waiting patiently though time is moving slow

I have one vacancy and I wanted you to know that

You're the one designed for me

A distant stranger that I will complete

I know you're out there we're meant to be

So keep your head up and make it to me

Make it to me

Make it to me

Make it to me
