Sade is willing to give herself too much to her lover, she feels comfortably in love. She goes from total euphoria to total heartbreak because of that.
[Refrain]
Ooh baby mm
When you hold me
Oh oh
When you hold me the sound
[Verse 1]
Is it possible I could feel this cool
I could really love you the way I do
Is it possible I would feel this good
I could really love you the way I do
[Chorus]
See me (within the light)
Flowing (take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I'm in the light)
You cover (pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me
[Verse 2]
I feel a love light rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just creeps over me
Over me
[Chorus]
See me (within the light)
Flowing (take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I'm in the light)
You cover (pull me to you)
The waves rush over me
[Refrain]
Ooh baby mm
When you hold me
Oh oh
When you hold me closer
[Interlude]
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
[Bridge]
Take up your love
Take up your love
Take up your love
And come to me
This love's not a liar
To cold it's a fire
I'm on the run
And it's a comfort to me
I won't let it go
Take up your love
Take up your love
Take up your love
And come to me
This love's not a liar
To cold it's a fire
I'm on the run
And it's a comfort to me
[Outro]
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Flow was written by Sade Adu & Paul Spencer Denman & Andrew Hale & Stuart Matthewman.
“Flow” is a song that’s about the atmosphere of how you feel when you fall in love, you know, the chemical experience you have and how you feel when you’re really in love with somebody.
