Hold Me Closer
Love's Longing Journey: Hold Me Closer
Lyrics
Hold me closer before you go
Expresses a desire for physical closeness before departure.
Tell me you love me one more time
Request to hear the affirmation of love one more time.
And think of me wherever you roam
Asking the person to remember them during their travels.
Just remember it each night you're alone
Encouraging the person to recall their love during lonely nights.
That the one who loves you is waiting here at home
Assurance that the speaker will be patiently waiting at home.
The words keep runnin' through my mind
Thoughts of departure occupy the speaker's mind.
Every time I leave her behind
Reflecting on the difficulty of leaving someone behind.
Sometimes I just wanna turn around and run back into her arms
Expressing a desire to return to the warmth of the person's embrace.
But I know it won't be that long before the feelin' gets too strong
Acknowledging that the separation won't last too long.
For me to stay away
Anticipating the growing intensity of the yearning to be with the person.
I'll be back one more time to here her say
Planning to return for another farewell, craving to hear love expressed.
Hold me closer before you go
Reiteration of the plea for closeness before departure.
Tell me you love me one more time
Request to hear the declaration of love once again.
And think of me wherever you roam
Asking to be remembered during the journey.
Just remember it each night you're alone
Reminding the person to think of the speaker during lonely nights.
That the one who loves you is waiting here at home
Reassurance that love awaits at home.
I hope she really understands that I can't help but be a travelin' man
Expressing hope that the partner understands the speaker's wanderlust.
When I get back to her though there ain't no way that I can stay
Acknowledging the inevitability of returning despite a temporary stay.
Somehow I just keep returnin' until I get that same old yearnin'
Continued return fueled by a persistent yearning for freedom.
And I want to be free
Desire for independence despite the emotional ties.
When I go I know she'll say to me
Anticipating the partner's words upon departure.
Hold me closer before you go
Repetition of the plea for closeness before departure.
Tell me you love me one more time
Request to hear the affirmation of love one more time.
And think of me wherever you roam
Asking the person to remember them during their travels.
Just remember it each night you're alone That the one who loves you is waiting here at home
Reiteration of the importance of remembering during lonely nights.
But I know that it won't be that long before that feelin' gets too strong
Anticipation that the separation won't last too long.
For me to stay away
Acknowledging the increasing intensity of the yearning to return.
I'll be back one more time to hear her say
Planning to return for another farewell, craving to hear love expressed.
Hold me closer before you go
Repetition of the plea for closeness before departure.
Tell me you love me one more time
Request to hear the declaration of love once again.
And think of me wherever you roam
Asking to be remembered during the journey.
Just remember it each night you're alone
Reminding the person to think of the speaker during lonely nights.
That the one who loves you is waiting
Reassurance that love awaits at home.
That the one who loves you is waiting here at home
Final reminder of the waiting love at home.
