I'D Be Yours
Haunted Love and Serpentine Charms: I'D Be Yours by Ilse DeLange
Lyrics
If I were a ghost I'd haunt your house
If I were a ghost, I would choose to linger in your house
Hang out in your rafters
I'd stay in the highest parts of your dwelling
You could be my mister Adams
You could be the person I am devoted to
I could be your Casper
I could be a friendly ghost (like Casper) to you
I'd shake with you my afterlife of the unexplained
I'd share with you my mysterious existence after death
Walk through your walls let you rattle my chains
I'd metaphorically pass through barriers to be close to you
Yes I would
Expressing willingness to do these things
And if I were a snake I'd be a constrictor
If I were a snake, I'd be a smooth and skillful one
Slicker than oil
I'd charm you more than anything else
I'd entice you with my slither wrap you in my coils
I'd tempt you and encircle you with my coils
You could tie me in a thousand knots
You could tie me up in complexities, but I'd unravel for you
And just watch me unfold
I'd captivate you with my intense gaze
Hypnotize you with my stare swallow you whole
Suggesting a thought about this situation
Think about it
(Blank line)
Chorus:
(Chorus begins)
Welcome to my world of make believe
Inviting someone into a world of imagination
Check your reality at the door
Asking them to leave reality aside
Within my wishes and my wildest dreams
In this world of dreams and desires
If I could be anything
Expressing a willingness to be anything for someone
Well baby, I'd be yours
Saying that, ultimately, they'd choose to belong to the person
And if I were a bird I'd be an owl
If I were a bird, I'd be an owl known for wisdom
Wise beyond my years
I'd possess great understanding and insight
Watch over you each night, calm you of your fears
I'd protect and reassure you at night
You could set my head to spinnin'
You'd make me feel ecstatic with your gestures
With those little things you do
Simple acts from you could overwhelm me
Like sayin' it was me you loved
Especially affirming your love for me
When I asked you "who"
Referencing a moment of affection
Repeat chorus
(Chorus repeated)
