You Give Me Something
Emotional Resurgence: Hamish Anderson's Stirring Plea for Reconnection
Lyrics
Listen darling
Expressing a plea for attention or connection.
Hear me calling your name
Reiterating the call for the listener's attention by using their name.
Listen darling
Repeatedly emphasizing the desire for the listener to pay attention.
Hear me calling your name
Continuing the call for the listener's attention.
So come back and let me know you're there
Requesting the listener to return and confirm their presence.
You've had your fun
Acknowledging past enjoyment but hinting at complications.
You know I've had mine too
Reciprocal acknowledgment of shared experiences and challenges.
With those little games and things we put each other thru
Referring to past conflicts or difficulties between the speaker and the listener.
So come back and try to help me thru
Inviting the listener to return and assist in overcoming challenges.
Cause you give me something
Introducing the theme of receiving something significant from the listener.
(Yeah you give me something)
Repeating the acknowledgment of receiving something from the listener.
You give me something I don't want to explain
Describing the indescribable quality of what the listener provides.
So for now just let me love you again
Requesting the listener to allow the speaker to love them once more.
Got me playing with fire
Acknowledging the risky and intense nature of the relationship.
Strike the match I'll take the pain
Expressing a willingness to endure pain for the sake of the relationship.
There's only so much a man can do before you drive him insane
Recognizing the limits of a person's endurance in a challenging relationship.
So come back and let me know you again
Reiterating the desire for the listener to return and rekindle the connection.
I'm fine with wasting time
Expressing a willingness to spend time without a clear purpose.
But don't make me draw the line
Setting a boundary against pushing the speaker too far.
Now you got me right where you want me
Describing the vulnerable position the speaker is in.
Waiting on you for a sign
Waiting for a signal or indication of the listener's intentions.
So come back and let me know whats mine
Reiterating the desire for the listener to return and clarify the relationship.
Come back and let me take my time
Asking the listener to return and give the speaker the time they need.
Cause you give me something
Repeating the acknowledgment of receiving something from the listener.
(Yeah you give me something)
Reiterating the impact of what the listener provides to the speaker.
You give me something I don't want to explain
Describing the difficulty of explaining the profound nature of the listener's contribution.
So for now just let me love you again
Requesting the listener to allow the speaker to love them once more.
Cause you give me something
Repeating the acknowledgment of receiving something from the listener.
(Yeah you give me something)
Reiterating the impact of what the listener provides to the speaker.
You give me something
Emphasizing the continuous and ongoing nature of the listener's impact.
(Yeah you give me something)
Repeating the acknowledgment of receiving something from the listener.
You give me something I don't want to explain
Describing the difficulty of explaining the profound nature of the listener's contribution.
So for now just let me love you again
Requesting the listener to allow the speaker to love them once more.
