Kiss You Better
Discover Love's Dance: Kiss You Better by Andrew Ripper
Lyrics
V1:
Opening of the song
Take a chance, chance on me,
Invitation to take a chance on the singer
let me show you something,
Expressing a desire to show something meaningful
you wanna see,
Confirming the listener's interest in seeing
come, come closer baby,
Encouraging the listener to come closer
right, now,
Emphasizing the immediacy of the situation
and i can show you how,
Offering to demonstrate how to improve the situation
Hook:
Transition to the chorus
I can kiss you better,
Confident claim of the ability to improve the listener's situation
show you things that matter,
Promising to show meaningful things
move you body faster than anybody else,
Expressing the ability to excite and move the listener physically
be the beat to my heart,
Metaphorically referring to being the rhythm or excitement in the listener's life
and ill show you a good start,
Offering a positive beginning to a relationship
when you get down,
Supportive words for when the listener is feeling down
down on yourself
Encouraging self-acceptance
V2:
Transition to the second verse
all around this place,
Searching for a specific type of person
im looking for a girl like you'll
Expressing the singer's gaze around the environment
you see me...
Addressing the listener
like i see you
Comparing perceptions of each other
and i, dont really know,
Uncertainty about the potential relationship
but you could take a chance on me,
Encouraging the listener to take a chance
and i, i could take a chance on you
Expressing the singer's willingness to take a chance as well
BRIDGE:
Introduction to the bridge
Ho la la,
Bridge opening with a melodic expression
mapenzi ni yako
Swahili phrase: "Love is yours"
Hook:
I can kiss you better,
Reiteration of the chorus
show you things that matter,
Restating the ability to improve the listener's situation
move you body faster than anybody else,
Repeating the promise to show meaningful things
be the beat to my heart,
Reiterating the ability to excite and move the listener physically
a nd ill show you a good start,
Repeating the metaphor of being the beat to the listener's heart
(pause)
Pause in the music
when you get down,
Reassurance for when the listener is feeling down
down on yourself
Encouraging self-acceptance once again
