And every time we kiss I reach for the sky

Can't you hear my heart beat so

I can't let you go. Want you in my life

This wonderfully written track was from Lucas Grahams and his own thoughts about love and family. He once said in an interview with genius.com that this song mostly came from his thoughts about the possibility of losing his family after his daughter was born. He realized that he could lose his wife and child if he becomes a bad husband and father. This gave Lucas a whole new appreciation to what he had. This song expresses how he sees his family and how much love he has for them. It even made his wife cry when she first heard it. A totally inspiring and emotional love song that would make us feel how beautiful love is and we should never take it for granted.

'Cause when you love someone

You open up your heart

When you love someone

You make room

If you love someone

And you're not afraid to lose 'em

You'll probably never love someone like I do

You'll probably never love someone like I do
