Lyrics

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feeling like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place

Lyrics

It starts in my toes, and I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes, I always know
That you make me smile, please stay for a while now
Just take your time, wherever you go

Susan Visakowitz of Billboard wrote that Caillat's "warm vocals along with a gentle acoustic arrangement effortlessly conjure the idyllic California she calls home".

Songfacts shared, "Bubbly" isn't about anybody specific, Caillat explained to I Like Music: "It's about the feelings you get when you have a crush on someone and they make you make smile all the time; they give you butterflies and you just adore everything they do." The young singer-songwriter added that the inspiration for the song came in the summer of 2006 when she was realizing that, "I didn't have a crush on anyone, and its always fun to have a crush. So I was just thinking about missing those feelings and wanting them."

Lyrics

The rain is falling on my windowpane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers, staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

It starts in my soul, and I lose all control
When you kiss my nose, the feeling shows
'Cause you make me smile, baby, just take your time now
Holding me tight

Wherever you go, I always know
'Cause you make me smile, even just for a while

The comforting vibe of the music video, according to Wikipedia;

Filmed in Colbie Caillat's hometown of Malibu and Santa Barbara in southern California. The video features intercut scenes of Caillat playing the guitar while dreamily singing the lyrics of the song and spending time with her lover in their home and out in nature. It is a sunny day, and some shots feature Caillat in fields as she sings. Later in the video, Caillat drives in an old Bronco and then is pictured singing as she walks slowly along the coast of California and looks out over a cliff into the Pacific Ocean. Caillat performs clad in a simple tank top and jeans which are slightly ripped at the knees; she is also barefoot and wearing a necklace made of sea shells.

Think about this…

Do you feel safe, and at peace when you are with your sweetheart?

Do you create a safe place for your sweetheart while in your arms?
