I'll Look After You
Embracing Love's Shelter: I'll Guard Your Heart
Lyrics
You've been weathered
You've experienced hardships or challenges
Like the soles of
Similar to the worn-out soles of your old shoes
Your old shoes
Describing the state of your old shoes
Overuse
Due to prolonged use or overuse
Close your eyes
Close your eyes, suggesting rest or relaxation
Rest a while
Take a break, rest for a while
And autumn hues
Refers to the colors of autumn
Fall on you
These autumn hues symbolically fall upon you
And I'll look after you
Assurance to provide care and support
I'll look after you
Reiteration of the commitment to look after you
Fall on me
Asking for trust and vulnerability
Know you can fall on me
Encouragement to rely on the speaker
And I could love anything
Expressing the speaker's capacity to love anything with your involvement
If you're a part of it, too
Your presence makes everything meaningful
Makes me weak
Admission of emotional vulnerability
Maybe it makes me weak
Recognizing that this vulnerability might be considered a weakness
But my heart is in your hands
Despite vulnerability, the speaker's heart is entrusted to you
Keep it close to you
Keep the speaker's heart close to you
And please don't leave
Plea for you not to leave
Oh baby, please don't leave
Emphatic request to stay
And I know I've said it before
Acknowledging the repetition of the plea in the past
Maybe it's me
Suggesting that the issue might be with the speaker
And I'll look after you
Reiteration of the commitment to care for you
And I'll look after you
Continued assurance of looking after you
And I'll look after you
Further repetition of the commitment
And I'll look after
Continued affirmation of looking after you
You
Final assurance of care and support
