I Just Wanna Hold You
Yearning Embrace: Courtney Keil's Melodic Quest for Connection
Lyrics
Time feels like it's at a stand still
Expressing a feeling that time is not progressing.
I swear my wheels are spinning fast but boy I'm still not
Despite moving fast, the speaker feels distant from a desired destination.
Close enough to where you are
Expressing a desire to be closer to someone.
I've sung every Sheryl Crow song
Having tried everything, possibly referring to attempts to bridge a gap.
But it's no fun less we can both go watch the sunset
Expressing that certain activities are not enjoyable without a specific person.
Over Santa Monica Boulevard
Mentioning a specific location (Santa Monica Boulevard) associated with shared experiences.
I just wanna hold you
Expressing a strong desire to hold the person and find comfort.
Feel your arms around me
-Till I know it's gonna be alright
-Every day without you
-Is longer than forever
-The lonely always owns the night
-I just wanna hold you
-I know even from a distance
Believing that the person's heart is evident even from a distance, seeking signs of love.
Your heart shows up time and time again when I need
-Love to come and show me a sign
-I've lived every word of Willin'
Expressing a willingness to make sacrifices to be with the person.
You know that I'd give anything to leave these back roads
-Where I see your face in every headlight
-I just wanna hold you
Reiteration of the strong desire to hold the person and overcome loneliness.
Feel your arms around me
-Till I know it's gonna be alright
-Every day without you
-Is longer than forever
-The lonely always owns the night
-I just wanna hold you
-Tighter coz I need some way to feel you
Expressing a need for physical closeness to feel the person, especially during difficult times.
When I miss you so bad it hurts
-I try to keep smilin' but tonight all these miles
-Just seem like a whole universe
-I just wanna hold you
Reiteration of the desire to hold the person, emphasizing the emotional impact of distance.
Feel your arms around me
-Till I know it's gonna be alright
-Every day without you
-Is longer than forever
-The lonely always owns the night
-I just wanna hold you
-I just wanna hold you
Final emphasis on the primary longing to hold the person.
I just wanna hold you
